1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 01/29/2015

The "starter" on my 2008 Lexus LS 460 l failed after only 7 years and 114k miles of service. It is unfathomable and unconscionable that the "starter" should fail in 7 years at 114k miles on any vehicle; leaving me with a $1,900 financial burden for the repair job. It is my understanding that a "engine and engine cooling: engine" recall, id # 86449, to replace the "engine coils/springs," called for the removal of the "starter" in order to perform the "engine coils/springs" repair, thus compromising the integrity of the "starter," thus causing the "starter" to fail prematurely. Based on my internet research, I have found numerous accounts of "starter" failure on Lexus vehicles that have had the "engine coils/springs" recall repair. It is my intent to bring this information to the forefront of the NHTSA, as a possible "recall" for a defective "starter," and as a remedy for Lexus car owners who have had recall id # 86449 performed on their vehicles resulting in the compromisation of the "starter" as a result of this recall repair.
