i would have walked if they tried to weasel that crap into a sales contract. I have a 911 turbo s and have never heard of such a thing. My lc is prettier than my 911, but slower (obviously) yet still doesn't have squealing breaks. If others exhibit that trait, folks need to lawyer up. Don't take the b.s.
And i have not had any issues with my previous lexus with the exception of my rx which built in canada instead of japan.
Just think about, has any other lc owners who did a factory order have had any issues with their brakes.

mine was factory ordered so i was assured that i will have that issue since mine was built with my request.

^^^^Brembo manufacturer's calipers, they do not manufacturer rotors or pads. Although you might find some rotors and pads labeled Brembo, but as I said they are not made by Brembo. I can find nothing that says the calipers on an LC500 are Brembo, but I would be shocked if they were not.

Brembo does market and sell both rotors and pads with their name on them, but I wouldn't know whether they actually manufacture them...

My dealer has heard nothing about this. Couldn't find anything referenced/no announcements or bulletins. The TSB posted a few down from your reply is completely unrelated & doesn't have anything to do with the LC, or even brakes/pads.

I concur with what LCInfrared states above. Mine is an April 2018 production with now just shy of 1,700 miles. No squealing or noise and I have used the HOLD function multiple times.Performance of the brakes is great!!
Brake dust is another issue - the wheels get noticeable dust with just a short drive, with our without heavy braking. It will be interesting to see what longevity I get out of the pads.
