LATEST UPDATE: The dealership called this morning saying that someone from the Lexus Vehicle Inspection Team wants to view the RX in person on Friday. So, things still seem to be moving forward in a positive manner but will continue to keep fingers crossed.

Dear all, thanks for the input thus far. Just been contacted by the dealership who have raised this as a warranty claim with Lexus and they have asked me to take car back in order that they can take photographs to email the warranty department to prove that the pipe is fractured. So, fingers crossed (as they have not dismissed this out of hand) that things will go in my favour. Will keep you all posted

Hi, first post here so apologies ind advance if break any rules (unitentionally). Have owned my 2005 RX400h since early 2008 and it has never missed a beat, it has been serviced by local Lexus dealer and has been one of the best cars I have ever owned. It has 87,000 miles and looks as good as new Noticed yesterday that the the exhaust was blowing and so took it into the dealership and they confirmed there was a crack in part of the system. As I have the Lexus extended warranty they are going to try and claim on that policy on my behalf but if it is not sanctioned then the bill will be £1,300 ! Preparing myself for the worst I was wondering if anyone had any experience of using third party, bespoke stainless steel system as these seem to be around half of the cost. Thanks
