Guess you can do this if the numbers are small. Great PR move.

Not sure it makes up for all of those nasty lawsuits for years regarding oil gelling in engines;-P
"A faulty brake light switch is to blame for Toyota's recall of 5937 Lexus RX300s and 1109 examples of its European and North American Car of the Year, the Prius. Oxidisation on the switch can cause the brake lights to stop working on second-generation Priuses built before May this year, and all Lexus RX300s built before July.
Toyota has assured Autocar that owners are being notified immediately and that in both cases, a quick one-hour fix is all that's required to sort the fault.
If a recall notice arrives through your letterbox, don't feel too bad about it - as well as carrying out the work, Toyota will throw in a complementary tank of fuel, a full valet and a bottle of champagne."

My dealer does something along the same lines: With each warranty repair visit I get -
A compimentary Enterprise rental car, custom grease adornment of my interior leather surfaces (silver in color, so it shows up beautifully), and I can stop by the latte bar in the showroom for a beverage while I wait for my paperwork to be prepared and the Enterprise car to be check-in. If I'm lucky, the Service Manger will even give me a hard time about being too picky about how my lowly S4 is treated and why must I complain about it being dirty, etc. ;-P
Guess Lexus isn't getting battered by the high Euro/low US dollar exchange like VWoA/AoA is currently getting hit, eh?

I've had 2 faulty brake light switches....
wow, 2 tanks of gas, and 2 bottles of cheapo booze.
I've been in 1 Lexus dealer and felt uncomfortable. Everyone was just soooo nice. Just felt fake as he!!. I'll take my Audi dealership. At least I can swear in German when things aren't quite done right--that gets attention.
