2024 GX Engine Recall? (6 Viewers)

I saw the engine recall on my app a month ago. I kept driving it since I commute out of town for work. A week and a half ago I was driving to work on the highway and I get a warning on my steering column screen to pull over the engine was about to turn off. Mind you I am traveling at 80+ MPH. I saw the speed slow down drastically and was able to pull over before the engine locked up. This could have been so much worse than me being stranded on the side of the road with 18 wheelers flying past me for an hour. My car has 46K miles on it now. Lexus tow truck took it to the dealer. They had it for a couple days and then let me know my car is one that the engine needs to be replaced on. I have not been given any time frame as to when I will get my car back. I do have a loaner from the dealership currently.
sorry to hear that from yours, might as well be good to know the year of the vehicle. thanks to god nothing happened.
 
Do you remember the build date for your vehicle?
I do not , I purchased it used with only 8K miles on it. We kept asking ourselves why someone would wait so long for this vehicle and trade it off so quickly. They must have known all this was probably going to happen.
 
oh I know I am grateful I was able to pull over safely. My car is 24 I purchased it in Dec 2025

Thankfully you're ok and Lexus will take care of this. Look on the bright side, you'll now have a new engine and extended warranty. May of us with 24s keep on second guessing what will happen to our should there be an issue. My build date is April 12, one day after the recall date... I am personally not sure what would happen should I have an issue down the road. However, I have faith in Toyota to take care us.

I doubt lexus will forget about you. Fun fact here lexus/ toyota Gave me 10 years of warranty or 125,000 miles
 
FYI---I had posted this before and maybe "G" did not see it. A quote from the letter sent to me from Lexus. "interim Notice. We are currently preparing the remedy. We will notify you again when the remedy is available." My 24 OT+ was sold in April 2024. Due to the uncertainty of this engine reliability, I opted to buy a 26 OT+ and hopefully not have an issue with the engine. It is my opinion that Lexus will stand behind any engine problem. I just did not want to be on one of my long range trips in the boondocks and have this engine failure.
I don't know they just told me I have to have a new engine put in :confused:
