Rear Caliper Sticking (warranty)

[Gramera flash]

Took my 2008 is250 in to main dealer today to have a long overdue recall job done, whilst it was there I asked them to check my brake calipers as it is a known problem on the car.

When I went to collect it I was told one of the rear calipers was in fact seized, this was not showing to be a problem when driving and I was unaware of it, well bottom line is they said they would replace it free of charge,,,most surprised as the car is eight years old, not complaining mind.

Would have cost £175

Is that on an extended Lexus warranty or original manufacturers warranty?

[Gramera flash]

It must be the original manufacturers warranty, I was most surprised.

More like 'goodwill', I suspect! Nice to know there is some!

[Carl911]

What mileage have you done as a matter of interest?

[Gramera flash]

Mileage is 15,500

a recall for brake callipers, it only affected 2005 and 2006 vehicles.

that's what lexus Edinburgh told me and said they won't do mine. 2009.

I have a 2006 is250 with 104,000 and my calliper is seized. Lexus Cheltenham quoted £370 to fit a new one. Maybe I should enquire about this

Carl911, no harm in trying, mine is a 2008 with 15,500 mls so it's a different scenario, I don't know why mine was done under warranty, maybe goodwill gesture as previously mentioned or because of the low mileage, but just glad they did.
