I have 41k miles on my car. Anti freeze has been dripping from the right side of the radiator same as other people. In contacting Lexus, being that the warranty has expired, they will charge to evaluate the problem and the repair estimate is 1k. How does Lexus know that the residual parts from 2004-05, which has been recalled, was not used during the 2006 assembly?.

Crack in the radiator at 73800 miles. Car started smoking and when stopped and opened up hood pink fluid spilled out of passenger side of radiator (anti-freeze) and was steaming. Noticed that comments have been made that 2004 -05 models have had radiator recall for same problem and read claims that this radiator might be the same.

Unusual/ abnormal noise in the engine area was diagnosed due to the following: radiator failure -had a crack and leaking coolant at 55k miles; water pump failure at 55k miles; timing belt replacement at 55k miles; high pressure power steering hose failure at 55k miles.
