I have a cracked radiator! Live in New England and we have had some severely cold weather over the last year- bought the '04 RX330 as a 2nd owner with 29K miles. Have had trouble with heat/air/engine needle going up into the red zone. Filled the coolant (it was empty) all was fine. Now its empty again and no heat and needle in red again. Took it to local mechanic - crack in radiator. It's been so cold we twice had pipes burst in the garage over the last 2 years. Called local dealer 'no recall". Called Lexus - no recall. "we don't keep track of recalls on our cars manufactured in Canada" what? My VIN # starts with 2T2 - I googled it - manufactured in Canada. My last 7 digits also falls smack in the middle of those recalled. Now what? No one seems to want to help - and no one knows about the recall. $800 to replace the radiator ... not the worst thing- but if it was recalled - should I have to pay? I was never notified. Any advice?
