Is200 Alloy Recall...

[bubblegoose]

Did this happen?

If so when and which reg's does it affect as my alloys are looking a bit ropey and I think it may have missed the recall.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Thats the problem with Lexus, thay dont tell you your alloys need changing you have to as them to change them :shutit:

If your car is 3yrs old and 60,000 miles and you alloys need changing, Lexus will change under warranty.

Affects all reg's mate.

Why were the alloys recalled. My is200 has just done 60,000 so it would be good to know what the problem is.

Lexus alloys wern't recalled you just asked your dealer to replace them if they started to corrode, and this was done free of charge until the warranty on the car ran out.

Did they not do a "rolling" 3 years on the refurbs Chris?

[Chris.S]

what do you mean by rolling

[sparkystav]

If you get them replaced, the new set have three years warranty on them,

Way i was told at Lexus Stockport, was, if alloys fail while car under warranty 60k/3yrs, lexus will change. i had 3 sets.

But if you was to get new set just B4 warranty runs out, you only get the 1yr on the wheels.

Had mine changed once under warranty, but just had them refurbed properly for £60 per wheel with the expectation they're not going to corrode again for some considerable time.

Same guy refurbed my Volks wheels on the 250 and gave them a check yesterday when I picked up the IS200 wheels. He said he'd had a bad batch of Lechlar clear laquer and that my Volks polished rims had probably been finished with it...so he's doing them again for free. Can't complain about that for customer care :)

so he's doing them again for free. Can't complain about that for customer care :)

Cant say fairer than that, thats how customer care should operate. :D

The clear coat was slightly cloudy and he thought it would clear after a few days of curing, but now it looks slightly speckled. Re-work suits me as I've accidently kerbed the front offside rim since he did them :tsktsk: . If anyone is putting 19" rims on, make sure you don't 'undertyre' the rims...I've got 225 on the 8.5J and there's not enough rubber to protect the rims...next changeout it will be 235's, even if I have to take a heat gun to the inner arch liner to get clearance on full lock.

Several guys in the US have put 20" rims on the 250/350...mad.
