Recent Recall For The Mats In Is200

[aido]

I reported a recall on June 27th this year, quote:

When I picked up my Lex from its last service at Lexus Bristol I found a very nice full set of luxury carpet mats, complete with gold 'Lexus' emblem on the front mats. Lexus Bristol told me they were fitted as they had a 'recall' on the originals??!! Must say the new ones are a lot better quality....

Quality mate, hopefully they should be here soon :D

The recall was in 2000. All cars 1999 and early 2000 are covered I think.

I have just looked at my mats and I have only 1 hole in the carpet but 2 in the mats. I am still waiting for my clips but will let you know whap happens.

Just rang Lexus with my chassis number... they said mine did not need to be brought in for the recall.

I have one hole for the hook in my carpet and yet there are two holes in my mat. Does this mean that my car is due a recall? Car is registered in Oct 2000

Well it's done :o

they've changed the clip I had to the exact same one, and replaced the mats with new ones, the new one's don't have Lexus embroidered into the mats now though?

Apart from that they're identical :D

Can't fault the service at Notts, Louise is doing a great job there :D

You can call at MCR at the same time :winky:

Yeah just the one clip still, just make sure you install it correctly with the hook preventing the mat from slipping forward - I've seen this the wrong way around loads!

[Andyscooke]

I had a 1999 Is200 which was recalled in 2000 because of the mats. I didn't have Lexus mats at the time but they fitted two new ones anyway - because I didn't have the originals, can't be sure what the difference is but was very grateful for the freebie!

So on the subject of recalls, where do you find info that a recall is issued? Just done a search of Lexus site for "recall" and found nothing?

...and does anyone know prices on new IS as I can't find that either!

Ta!

:mat:

[aido]

I just saw the dolly bird at Lexus and she told me about the recall, not sure where you can find info about recalls, someone posted a link somewhere in here i think so maybe you can search on that site?

I had a shifting mat when I first bought my 2002(02) 300SC 15 months ago. I discovered that although it had 2 clips, there was only one mat eyelet, and the mat had slipped out of it.

I knew nothing about a recall, so I just made another hole in the mat with a screwdriver to sort it. It's been no problem since.

Come to think of it, the mats did look new at the time, which implies they still supply them with just one hole. They are plain black mats with no logos on.

IanB :D
