I HAVE A LEXUS LS 460L AND HAVE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM LEXUS REGARDING VALVE SPRING REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER CANNOT TAKE CARE OF IT UNTIL 1/24/11. I CALLED THE LEXUS HOTLINE FOR ASSURANCE THAT THERE ARE NO SAFETY ISSUES WITH THE CAR BETWEEN NOW AND THEN AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME THAT ASSURANCE. I AM SUPPOSED TO DRIVE TO CHARLOTTE, NC NEXT WEEK FROM WASHINGTON, DC AND I ASKED THEM IF I'D BE OK IN THE CAR. AGAIN, THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE ASSURANCES. SO I GUESS I HAVE A CAR THAT THEY CANNOT TELL ME CAN BE SAFELY USED UNTIL AFTER 1/24/11. WHAT CAN THE US GOVERNMENT DO TO HELP OR AM I JUST OUT OF LUCK? *TR
