Would like to see some of those metals drop at the next oil change. I should get my 800mi test results back soon.

Would be really great to get a sample sent post-mortem for an engine thats suffered the bearing issue

Is there anyone on this thread who has the V35A in the LC300, predominantly Middle Eastern market? I have a build date of 08/22 on mine but no recalls out for the LC300 or LX600 here in the Middle East. I'm intrigued to see if our vehicles were either made on a different production line in Japan, or they just haven't actioned a recall yet for this part of the world.

oil change at 860 miles; build date of 2/24.

You have a 4/24 build date right?

I am about to do mine around 4,000 miles. 4/24 build

 

[usnick1982]

Please put build dates on oil analysis. Mine posted above 8/23

Appreciate the oil analysis posts guys. Thanks for sharing.

Nothing in the middle east yet, but everyone is on the edge of their seats, waiting for the announcement to come

It's official now, possibly the first recall being issued in the middle east

I was at the Lexus dealership yesterday for my 1/24 build date LX600, 15,000 mile service (plus oil change) and asked about the engine issue. All they would say is that there was that there was one in the service department with the issue getting a new block and that everyone is trying to figure out what is happening. I would love to get my wife a GX550 but I am a bit paranoid about having two Toyota turbo V6s in the family until this issue is resolved. Personally, I don't buy the "debris" explanation.

A “new block” with parts strewn all over the bay. No thanks.

This situation is a mess for Toyota and does not instill confidence in their TTV6 truck platform. Period.

I asked my lexus dealer last week and he said none of their prior sold inventory has been affected or on the recall list.

Spoke with two dealerships, one of which is one of the biggest on east coast, and they both had zero issues with this recall.

Ok and that means what? They sold a couple dozen?

It means nothing whatsoever, so just sell your LX600 and GX550 ASAP! Oh wait, you don't own either just like 99% of the FUD pushers here.

When else has Toyota released a car with a massive multi-year recall due to complete engine failure? Let alone a Land Cruiser……

I’m as big of a Toyota fan as they come but this is pathetic.

35k happy and unproblematic miles and counting...

Why don't you buy the debris explanation?
