Preparing For the 4LA LSC
Overview
Lexus is initiating a Special Service Campaign (SSC). The 3LE SSC is for 2004 RX 330s. In certain early 2004 RX 330s an abnormal noise could be
generated from the exhaust system. This handbook provides all the details necessary to plan and implement this SSC at your dealership. Key points on
the SSC are summarized below.
3LE Condition
On certain early 2004 model year RX 330 vehicles, due to a manufacturing error in the catalytic converter, an abnormal noise could be generated inside
the front and rear exhaust manifold converter assemblies.
3LE Repair
The 3LE SSC involves replacing the exhaust manifold converter assemblies.
Customer Notification
Notification letters will be sent to the owners of affected vehicles in July 2003. This letter will advise owners of the need to have the exhaust manifold
converter assemblies replaced.
