The error codes can be reset but they do come back. Doing this just disguises the problem and doesn't give confidence in owning the car knowing there is a problem which needs to be fixed. Where has the OP gone, have we frightened him off? Yeah, agreed a fix is better. What are the actual concequences of the error though? Is there really a problem, or just spurious error codes that are not causing any damage. My point being that if you don't have 3 grand to chuck at the car, it is an alternative option. or not? It's a software fault in the ECU (which thinks the mixture is too rich I believe) - They have now changed both O2 sensors to a differnet type and updated the software. I think the outcome of ignoring the fault codes is naff all UNLESS the codes put you in 'limp home mode' of course... The Ed Plus also the car will fail it's MOT if a fault light like Check VSC is flashing. Needs to be fixed but Lexus really should be fixing these faults for free. Are you there OP? Yeah I agree that they should fix a know issue like this. Even if they don't issue a recall, if it does show itself, they should fix. I assume by the fact that a recall hasn't come about that it doesn't effect ALL vehicles, or does it? On my origian question on this and restting codes, I'm just saying..... if you do have to pay yourself, and don't have 3k to spend, and there is actually no harm coming to the car, and it only happens intermittantly, then just resetting the codes is a cheap option. If you can reset and be clear for a couple of weeks, you'd have to be pretty unlucky for it to crop up when you have put it in for an MOT. If you can afford the 3k, or Lexus will fix it, then I would fix it properly also. HI All... Has Lexus confirmed to you that the warrenty is extended to five years for this problem.

Hi All... can anyone tell me is the warrenty on Lexus cars the same in the UK as for Ireland !!!
