I had mine replaced as a drive up as well - spent less than an hour there total. The service writer said that they have been keeping several in stock to cover (ha) the problem. Also said that Lexus is working a redesigned piece - problem had to do with mounting mechanism and air flow characteristics over the part - didn't know for sure when the replacement part would be available or how it would be implemented (as needed, general notification ...)

My dealer replaced the first one free as "good will gesture", but the 2nd i'll have to pay

Wow - I have a REAL problem with this. I can't believe that a problem as prolific as this could be blamed on the owner (and thus require you to pay for it). If the dealer sticks to this one I would start making phone calls - it probably won't take many before you get their position overruled, but I would keep calling until I talked to Mr. Lexus himself (I know - but I think you get the point). Maybe by the time it happens again they will have reversed the decision on their own in an attempt to maintain their image as a Lexus dealership.

Of course, if they had to tow your car in from the woods because you got it stuck while 4 wheeling they may have a valid point.
