Quality Control
You may have noticed a few miles
on the odometer when you took
delivery of your Lexus. This mileage
is a result of the comprehensive
process used to ensure the quality of
your vehicle. This process includes
ex tensive inspections during and
after production. The final inspection
takes place at the selling dealership
and includes a road-test conducted
by a trained Lexus technician.
If you’d like to know more about Lexus
quality-control procedures, ask a
Lexus dealership service consultant.
Vehicle Service History
When you have your vehicle serviced
at a Lexus dealership, your service
information is recorded in the Lexus
National Service History database.
This is the first database of its kind
in the automotive industry. It can be
accessed by any Lexus dealership in the
United States — a great convenience if
you relocate or need to have your
vehicle serviced while traveling.
Vehicle Service Agreements
If you plan to keep your vehicle for
several years or if you accumulate mileage quickly, you may want to
purchase a Lexus vehicle service
agreement. These agreements cover
the cost of specific repairs beyond
the factory warranty period. They
also cover services such as towing,
substitute transportation and lodging
to minimize your inconvenience
should your vehicle require repair.
Lexus vehicle service agreements are
available with a variety of coverage
options. A Lexus dealership sales
consultant can help you select the
plan that’s best for you.
Body Repairs
If you’re involved in a collision, you
want your vehicle to be returned
to its pre-accident condition when
repaired. That’s why it is important to
make sure repairs are made only with
Genuine Lexus Parts. Some repair
shops and insurance companies may
suggest using imitation or salvaged
parts to save money. However,
these parts do not meet Lexus’ high
standards for quality, fit and corrosion
resistance. In addition, imitation and
salvaged parts (and any damage
or failures they may cause) are not
covered by any Lexus warranty.

WARRANTY

What types of disputes
are eligible?
NCDS resolves disputes involving
Lexus product reliability and warranty
performance that arise during the
greater of 1) four years or 50,000
miles from the vehicle’s in-service
date, whichever is earlier; or 2) the
appli cable provision of the Lexus
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
However, NCDS will not arbitrate
1) claims involving a vehicle used
primarily for commercial purposes
unless the Lemon Laws of your
state cover vehicles used for
commercial purposes; or 2) claims
that an air bag failed to deploy or
deployed when it should not have;
or 3) disputes regarding fires and/or
accidents and/or theft. Since there
are other additional exclusions,
please contact NCDS for further
information on eligibility guidelines.
You must file a request for arbitration
with NCDS within six months of
the expiration of the eligibility
period, provided the concern or
alleged defect was brought to the
attention of Lexus or one of its
dealers during the eligibility period. How long is the
arbitration process?
The entire process — from the time
NCDS receives your request for
arbitration to the arbitrator’s decision —

is designed to take no more than
40 days. A decision may be delayed if:
• You fail to provide certain
information required by NCDS.
• You fail to make your vehicle
available for inspection by
NCDS in a timely manner
(if an inspection is required).
How do I request arbitration?
To initiate arbitration, you must
complete an NCDS customer claim
form and mail it to NCDS. A claim
form is included in the Lemon Law
Guide located in your vehicle, or
you may request a form by calling
NCDS at (866) 272-4872. When
you call, please have ready your
vehicle identification number
(VIN), the names of your selling
and servicing dealerships, and the
current mileage on your Lexus.

claim form, please provide NCDS with
the following information:• Vehicle year, make, model, VIN,
mileage and date of purchase.
• A brief description of your
complaint and the actions
you have taken to resolve it.

Upon receipt of your request, NCDS
will contact you regarding the status
of your case and supply you with
additional details about the program. How does the arbitration
process work?
When NCDS receives your request,
it will be forwarded to the Lexus area
office for response.
At the request of either party or the
arbitrators, NCDS may schedule a
technical inspection. This may include
an inspection of the vehicle by an
independent tech nical expert with
a Lexus representative present. The
technical expert will forward his or
her evaluation to NCDS.
An oral hearing will be held prior to a
decision being rendered. At this hearing,
all relevant evidence is admissible.
You and a Lexus representative will
present both sides of the case to the
NCDS arbitrator(s). You will each be
given an equal opportunity to give
testimony and provide documents.
Then you will each be given an oppor-
tunity for rebuttal. After considering
all testimony and documents, the
arbitrator(s) will review the applicable
legal standards and render a decision
within 10 days.
A settlement satisfactory to all parties
may be negotiated at any time during
the process.
