Hood flutter on 26 OT. (1 Viewer)

[Fleet price]

I had a small hood flutter and took it to the dealer and they applied epoxy to resolve the problem. You would think with all the previous problems with this issue starting with the 24 GX, Lexus would have taken steps to correct this defect. Let's hope the engine recalls on early 24's will not surface with the newer models.

Did the epoxy resolve the flutter?

Yes it did. I had a 24 gx OT that they had did the same procedure and resolved the issue. In that case, the hood flutter was very bad. In my 26 OT, it was not as pronounced and the service manager knew how to resolve the issue. Good luck if you are trying to have it fixed. Make sure they keep the vehicle overnight to let the epoxy cure.
