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?.
