Repair progress

49 of 121 vehicles in this recall had still not been repaired as of Q2 2026.

60% repaired — 72 of 121 reported

Manufacturers file these figures with NHTSA each quarter. Vehicles the manufacturer could not trace, or that have been scrapped or exported, are counted separately and are not included in the unrepaired figure.

What the defect is

Sleepy Customs LLC is recalling certain IS300 Slave Cylinder Conversion Kits, both full kits and adapter plate only versions. The adapter plate may separate from the transmission housing during vehicle operation, resulting in loss of the clutch function and ability to shift gears.

What could happen

An inability to shift gears reduces the driver's ability to control vehicle speed, increasing the risk of a crash.

What gets fixed

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicle that is equipped with the conversion kit until the remedy is performed. Sleepy Customs LLC will provide a replacement adapter plate, free of charge.

Parts involved

  • Adapter PlateN/A3mm stainless steel adapter plate with TIG welded M8 studs for mounting clutch slave cylinder to transmission housing

Part numbers are as filed by the manufacturer and are listed for reference. Your dealer will confirm the correct part for your vehicle.

Your rights

A safety recall repair is free. Under US federal law the manufacturer must fix a safety defect at no cost to you — no charge for parts, labor or diagnosis — whether or not you are the original owner. A dealer cannot charge you for recall work, and cannot require you to have bought the vehicle from them.

That entitlement is not unlimited. It applies where the vehicle was first sold less than 15 years before the recall was announced — 5 years for tires. Past that a manufacturer may still do the repair free of charge, and many do, but they are no longer obliged to. This recall was reported on 2 April 2026.

To arrange the repair, contact any franchised dealer for the brand. If a dealer refuses the work or tries to charge for it, you can report that to NHTSA at nhtsa.gov/recalls or on 1-888-327-4236.

Everything on this page — the models listed, the build dates and the repair figures — comes from the manufacturer's filing to NHTSA and describes the vehicle line as a whole, not any individual car. Only the manufacturer can confirm whether a specific vehicle is affected, and whether its recall work has already been carried out. Check yours by VIN and read the official notice at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Check your own vehicle

This page describes the recall, not any one car. To see which recalls cover a specific vehicle, search by make, model and year.

A VIN lookup here identifies your vehicle and shows recalls issued for that make, model and year. It cannot tell you what is still open on your individual car - only the manufacturer knows that. Search by VIN instead, or check your VIN at nhtsa.gov for whether a recall is still open on your individual car.
