Defect. TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 AND 2007 LEXUS GS300 AND GS350 ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) VEHICLES. THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE PLASTIC PAD EMBEDDED INTO THE FLOOR CARPET MAY INTERFERE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.

Risk. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL COULD TEMPORARILY BECOME STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION RATHER THAN RETURN TO THE IDLE POSITION. A STUCK ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN UNINTENDED AND SUSTAINED VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE PLASTIC PAD ON THE FLOOR CARPET FREE OF CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.

THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IMAGE IS FADING WITH CRINKLE MARKS ON THE SURFACE OF THE GLASS OF THE MIRROR. I GARAGE MY CAR AT HOME AND WORK SO I KNOW THAT IT IS NOT THE SUN THAT CAUSED IT. I HAVE READ SOME OF THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH OTHER OWNERS OF THE CAR ON THE LEXUS BLOG. MANY HAVE CONTACTED THEIR LOCAL LEXUS DEALER AND WERE TOLD TO PURCHASE A NEW MIRROR WHICH COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $300 TO $700 OUT OF THEIR OWN POCKETS. CAN YOU HELP ME?

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
