As part of Lexus warranty enhancement ZLD and Toyota warranty enhancement ZE6, Toyota and Lexus will repair your cracked, sticky or melted dash with a new dash assembly starting later this year. In December 2014 they sent out preliminary notice to owners alerting them of the enhancement, but noted that parts are not yet available to repair every vehicle. At this time Toyota and Lexus are processing claims for owners that have paid for a dash or door panel repair that may be covered under the warranty enhancement. It is expected in March Toyota and Lexus will begin repairing the condition for owners at no charge.
