I have had my new IS250 SE AUTO two weeks and so far I'm over the moon with it.

When I went to fill her up for first time, I noticed that the neck of the fuel filler seem to wiggle a little. would you say this is normal? I pose the question as I have heard about recalls regarding fuel pipes.

Don't think mine wiggles, unless you mean just the movement within its rubber mounting. The fuel pipe recall is at the other end.....the feed to the injection system and was due to a manufacturing error that could cause the pipe to crack... not what you want in a high pressure system. Problem was rectified so only applied to some early models, and they are identified for recall by the vehicle Identification number (VIN). Mine was done last week.

Yeah. Mine wiggles too. It appears to be by design, so I shouldn't worry about it.

Perhaps it's to help prevent people jamming the pump nozzle in the pipe.
