500h, you talk mean the turbo 4 cylinder? Or the GR V6 hybrid also? If not the later, what makes the difference?

Jan-June
Acura MDX: 25,694
Lexus TX: 21,322
Acura RDX- 20,134 (there as a footnote)

Hell of a start for the TX even with the stop sale.

I didn't realize that was still happening. Have they not fixed this since it was announced a few weeks ago?
i only heard about this when a relative went to t/d both the GH/TX. The toyota dealership said eta soon, but the Lexus dealer just took their info, and said tbd.
Unofficial channels were saying october timeframe.

i was looking at tx forums, seems like unofficial channels show the following
Oct 24 SOP for 25 MY with the fix implemented
Q1 25 will have the in service fix, which will be rolled out on unsold port stock, and then in service units. In service units need to be shipped back to port? (that last bit is sketchy cause never heard customers cars being shipped back)
The repair will entail body work....
All in all, idk whats going on, but with the number of stop sales and recalls, quality needs to be reexamined.

It really depends on what the fix is. If they need to make an adjustment on the manufacturing of an part, the turnaround can be super quick. If they have to manufacturer a new part, it can take months with people working around the clock. Being that they are still on stop sale, I'm sure Toyota stopped building the models. There's a lot of risk in building known no good vehicles with the plan to retrofit a fix and goes against Toyota principles.
Since the Indiana plant is pretty flexible overall, spitting out 4 different models, I expect they asked their suppliers for Sienna and Highlander to supply as much extra as possible to keep the Indiana capacity utilized as much as possible. Again, that goes back to supply base. When Highlander volume was essentially cut in half last year, did the unique component suppliers retool some of their capacity for different product? We don't know. All it takes is one supplier doing that to throw a wrench in their ability to reallocate resources.

Honestly i don’t envy auto manufacturers. Good luck to them all with quality.

Some owners have stated they got an apology email for the recall and a code to pick out a gift online at a website they created. Classy!

I would not expect there to be fire sales on a vehicle that 1) is in demand and 2) had no supply for 4 months.
