"Some 2024 – 2025 model year GX 550 and 2022 – 2025 model year LX 600 vehicles may exhibit a condition where the front brakes produce a squealing noise when driving forward or in reverse."
The issue is that the brakes squeal. In reading others complaints through the forums, most people experience this at low speed in reverse. For my 2024 GX 550 OT+, I started hearing it in the first couple months at low speed in reverse. It never went away when braking in reverse after it began. It also occurred for me in forward when I was driving in hilling conditions that seemed to make the brakes hot.
The good news on this issue, is that it has been acknowledged by dealers long enough that they shouldn't stone wall you if you tell them you have the issue. The bad news is that the problem is prevalent and parts are back ordered so getting this fixed may take some waiting time. Parts took 2 months for me and mine was just fixed so I don't have an impression yet. I think I need to give it a couple months before I call it a success given that's how long it took before I heard the issue initially.
