Does the GX have the same engine issues as the new tundra?

Was talking to a guy in the industry and he said hey have you had any problems with the gx550? I said no and he said well the tundra has the same engine and has had major issues. Have their been any gx550 engine failures with those same issues?

None for me. My brother owns the Tundra and hasn’t had the engine issue either

Engines were manufactured in different plants. Seemed as thought the US made versions had the defects?

No issues. Wonder if they had the issue figured out before they launched in early 2024 potentially adding to the delay. Definitely heard it was not an issue in the Japanese plant the GX550 is manufactured at.

There were LXs recalled with the same engine as the Tunda but their engines were manufactured in Japan. According to a video by The Car Care Nut there changes made in February of 2024 and I think all the GX engines were made after that time.
