GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

I completely understand your frustration.
I have also been steadfast from day one that Toyota/Lexus needs to be transparent and make an official statement on why the QC hold of so many units, GX and LC.
Coming clean on the potential issue and Friday updates are two totally different things. Lexus is updating the status of each and every unit separately on Fridays. Some are in production, some are in transit, some on 56 day hold with no ETA, etc. This status will be updated on Fridays.
If you’re expecting a clear explanation of the QC hold issue on any given Friday at noon it’s not going to happen. That’s not purpose of Friday status updates.
Again, I completely agree Lexus/Toyota needs to be transparent with this large QC hold so folks can make an educated decision. They need to make a statement.
I wish I had Friday updates. I only get “It’s looking like next month” updates.
For what it is worth, I talked with Lexus Brand Engagement this morning, and they said that there was no type of 30 -56 day hold on the Gx550 that they could confirm. Not sure if I believe that or not!
I been told that by my salesman that my Gx550 Luxury + is being built and that I should see it in about 4 weeks or so. Not sure if I believe that or not!
I did have to put a nice size deposit down on this vehicle.

. They know about it and don’t want the calls. The calls do go up the chain from the the Brand Engagement Center. The more thy get the harder it is for Toyota to hide their head in the sand.Well that's an intentional lie. Must be worried about media digging into it!
Ha! Their own system says QC "Hold" and "56 days". The shadiness of Lexus, and not so much my specific dealership is whats really starting to p!55 me off.

I received this - not sure how I feel about a new car being potentially disassembled after leaving the factory. "They take a random sample in each region and disassembles them to check the accuracy of their production."
Why wouldn't they just do this in Japan at factory before shipping - makes no sense.
I called the Lexus Brand Engagement phone line, and they also said that this is the first they’re hearing about the QC hold, which I doubt. They also said the dealership probably knows more than them regarding the hold lol. It’s like playing phone tag between the dealership and Lexus engagement center.
Wow! I’m going to call right now.

Keep us posted
I just heard from my dealer this afternoon that my OT+ is headed here (build date 6/6, ETA July), I asked if there was a hold and he said there was not one currently on mine, but there has been on earlier builds. Here's hoping that mine doesn't get stuck too and the ones currently in hold get released soon.
Thank you hope your OT+ will be as smooth as silk
100% agree
Ahh, I once had this lovely feeling of a "no QC Hold".
A few days before the ship date (5/29).... "Good news, yours isn't part of the QC hold"
A few days after the ship date (6/10).... "Yours is now part of the 56 day QC Hold"
Once bright and glorious dreams, now crushed, shattered in bits on an empty garage floor.
lol, that’s a distinct possibility, trying to be at least cautiously optimistic.
These two engines do vary slightly. I believe the liter size is like 1
