Two problems related to front driver side air bag inflator have been reported for the 2007 Lexus IS250. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tamara recall I'm trying to schedule an appointment to get the airbag inflator. I guess there was a deadline of March 25 2017. I do not agree with that.
Takata recall the interim recall notice was sent out around may'16 when the recall started. Calling the dealership provided no information on when a fix will be available nor any additional remedy provided. This car is unsuitable for commuting with a passenger because "metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death". With such the potential for such a traumatic outcome, either a fix needs to be implemented immediately or rental cars should be made available to those who do not wish to put them or their passengers at risk. Without being able to determine how at risk a vehicle is for the inflator degredation, remedy options should be provided not only to those under immediate recall but for vehicles that are in the interim period (pre-recall) as well.
