Thanks for the info.

We just received a notice today telling us about the recall and are told to bring our RX330 for the necessary replacement.

Is it for all RX330, or just certain VIN?

I think it's for most of them. Go ahead and call 800 25 Lexus, give them your VIN and they'll tell you if you're part of the recall. Lexus is slow in rolling out notices so the dealers don't get over-loaded, but the dealer will fix it for you by request before you get a notice.
