Lexus IS 300
Model Overview
Lexus revived the IS 300 label in 2016 for the entry-level versions of its compact sport sedan. Lexus shoppers first saw that badge attached to the original IS in the early 2000s. Then, as now, the IS 300 is a responsive and entertaining small sedan that holds up well in its effort to compete with the German cars in the segment. Along with its satisfying performance, the IS delivers strong fuel efficiency and reliability, too.

On certain vehicles, the electrical power cords of some dealer installed block heaters may have been improperly manufactured, causing the wires to contact each other, resulting in a short circuit. A short circuit could lead to a fire which would increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: For vehicles where the subject block heater was approved for installation, the dealer will replace the block heater assembly with a new one of an improved design. For vehicles where the subject block heater was not approved for installation, dealers will remove the block heater assembly. In the interim, until the remedy can be performed, dealers will cut the plug end from the block heater cord to disable the block heater's operation.
