Once the TSB goes live we'll cross the bridge of Canada. Hopefully it just includes you guys, if not I'll see who I can contact to see what can be done.
Look at Frank… Taking care of folks, regardless of platforms! 💪🏽😎
Hey all! I'm new to the forums and just got my 500 2 weeks ago. I'm a former Lexus tech and just went to my old shop to have some Continental DWS06 put on (I live in Chicago) and they had a 2022 sitting on a rack being investigated by Lexus engineers. I couldn't get a ton info but it looks like they are very close to finding a permanent fix. My buddy at the shop is gonna keep me posted.
To be fair, the panel gaps are perfect. The bumper fasteners are sus 😅
Isn't the front apron separation a panel gap? I don't see him measuring that one. Anyways he sold his car after a month of ownership and purchasing PPF. Another fool in my book.
The contacts that I've been in touch with on the bumper separation issue said the fix will be open to all IS500 owners with separation, and notes in the TSB will not exclude cars with PPF, signs of a bumper that was removed, or even scrapes on the bumper. They even told me as far as "Exterior paint scrapes" will still be available for it. And if they don't keep their word on that, I'll be sure to reach out to my contacts over it.
I apologize I don't give as many updates on the forums, I do most of my stuff on the Facebook groups 😅
Curious..........with a TSB release in January, does that mean all 2024 production models will have had this issue successfully addressed?
Early 2024s will most likely be completed as a part of the TSB and I'd like to think later 2024s will have the adjustments already. But I can't say for sure honestly

I got my 2024 and will be checking closely if this is an issue on mine. Will give updates.
I'll be anxiously awaiting to see what the TSB says is the way to address the issue. I assume because it is only a TSB, they will only "fix" cars that show the sag. Which for some vehicles, may possibly come after any applicable warranty period, implying the fix will be at the owner's expense.

And then wonder what they'll say when they inspect the bumper and see signs of scraping or other minor damage . They've already tried to say that was the original problem with many.
