What I mean is...

I have read various problems with the first year GS 300 (sqeaks, rattles, etc).

Not a big deal but does lexus fix problems as they find them?

Meaning...

Will a 2006 GS 300 made in March of 2006 have some upgraded fixes for any problems found as compared to the original model made in March of 2005?

Thank you all-

I would assume so. The TSBs which are applicable to early productions cars should not be applicable to recent builds. I would fully expect a September '06 build GS to have better build quality than my May '05 build GS.

Absolutely as INHOCJP said TSB are issued to resolve these customer concerns. Each TSB has a Start VIN number and an end VIN number, all VINs after that end number have the TSB applied at the factory. Thusly, yes change on the line are made as widespead issues arise to prevent the high cost of doing it later at dealerships.
