Hi Andy,

Is this an official recall as far as you are aware? I have had an ongoing complaint from April 07 relating to the handbrake. Lexus left documentation in my car dated from Dec 06 stating that it was a known fault, the production method had been changed in the factory and that if any owners take the vehicle in to complain that there is a field fix procedure. Just had the 30k service completed and they changed the discs and pads and carried out the field fix procedure. Sounds like an official recall but they never wrote to inform me.

as far as i am aware they are recalling them for this fault as i received a letter stating that it was a known fault,and it would be rectified when each car goes in for their service

Well guys, i asked Lexus Recall department today while i was sorting other things with them, and they said they dont have anything on computer regarding the hand brake recall, so Andy did you get a letter from Lexus to say about a recall or from the dealer? please let me know, as my hand brake dont hold the car every so often the first time i apply the hand brake, and it will take a few go before it hold, and i would like to get it fit under recall if its available..

thank matey.

WOW, i thought it was just me with this problem. I mean ive been driving 11 years so i certaqinly know how to put a handbrake on, but every now and again i find the car rolling backwards out of a parking space. i have to apply the handbrake so hard that i have difficulty in releasing it again.
