Flint400 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Does anybody know when Lexus changed the design of the Evaporator Assembly? We have a 2006 that is blowing the white dust. We are looking at selling the 2006 for a newer model and want to make sure we don't get one with the same issue. Thanks in advance for your help.

Flint400 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 Really? Nobody knows this? I can't believe no one else has had the white dust issue? Please help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 We never had that problem and we've owned our RX400h since 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 There was a TSB on this issue but I believe it was on ealier RX400h. Our 2008 didn't have this issue....Oh and by the way there was a recall for this issue or The TSB required replacement.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint400 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Thanks guys for the help, I don't see the TSB in the sticky post for TSB's. Anyone know where I can find it? Lexus is offering to help replace the evaporator, but they won't pay for the entire repair. We love the 400h and would like to stay with it, but don't want the white dust issue again. Thanks again.............Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 the tsb number is The TSB number is L-SB-0032-08. Take your car in and tell them you have breathing problems...Be polite and see if they will cover the cost of replacing the evaporator. When past warranty it is a crap shoot, but many have been successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cduluk Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 My '08rx400h developed the white dust problem, and it was built in 10/07. I had the evap. core replaced a few years ago with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint400 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 So, I guess it doesn't matter if we go with the newer model. Is there any other advantage to looking for a 2007 or 2008? It doesn't appear that there is any upgrades in the interior and only some badging on the exterior. Any opinions? Thanks for everyones responses...........Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maseace Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The 2007/2008 have a much better navigation screen than the 2006, and the stereo plays DVD audio/video, and MP3 on CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint400 Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thanks Maseace! The Navigation screen improvement alone is worth looking at the newer model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maseace Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Thanks Maseace! The Navigation screen improvement alone is worth looking at the newer model. Yeah, that's why I didn't want an '06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
