I too purchased a 2013 Lexus GS 350 and noticed a foul (toxic) odor. I tried to wash it, I tried to wipe it clean and it kept coming back. I then smelled every area of the car and noticed that it came from the instrument panel/dashboard area (not the leather, but the other almost rubber material that surrounds the nav and the instruments). I checked all over the web and noticed that this one was not in the recall and I feel like if more people posted the issue, it would've been included, but it's much more difficult to prove. Initially, it made me sick the first few times I rode it, so I cleaned it. It still smells, but now I keep air freshener (it only masks it). Lexus corporation is looking into it, but the dealer isn't helping! I have an '09 Camry and it IS melting, but doesn't have the smell and it's covered under the new program. I'm believing God that Lexus take this seriously and fix these issues. If you are like me and noticed it, definitely try smelling the instrument panel (front panel) and you might noticed how strong the smell is. I am taking pictures and compiling this as well to share with corporate. I'll post an update soon. I am wondering if others simply gave up and got used to the smell?
