Cate's RX - Ask your service rep to show you the related service bulletin - my guy also told me it had expired. I had already called Lexus and they checked my VIN and said it was still covered. If you aren't sure call Lexus and ask them. The actual bulletin, read right in front of me, says it's covered 9 years from 1st day of service. That should be your determining factor. Mine was covered. But they didn't have the part and I'm still driving their loaner car. I will pick it up tomorrow and I guess I'll find out if they try to spring something on me. Good luck.
