In the United States, U.S.
Territories and Canada
To obtain warranty service in the
United States, U.S. territories or
Canada, take your vehicle to an
authorized Lexus dealership. If your
vehicle cannot be driven, contact your
nearest Lexus dealership for towing
assistance. You do not have to pay for
towing to the nearest Lexus dealer-
ship if your vehicle is inoperable due
to failure of a warranted part.
Outside the United States,
U.S. Territories and Canada
If you are using your vehicle outside
the United States, U.S. territories and

contact a local Lexus dealership.
Please note, however, that your vehi-
cle may not be repaired free of
charge because the local Lexus dis-
tributor may have no obligation to
provide warranty service for your
vehicle, and/or your vehicle may not
comply with local regulatory or envi-
ronmental requirements.
If your vehicle is inoperable or unsafe
to drive and there is no Lexus dealer-
ship reasonably available to make
repairs, you may perform the repairs
yourself or have them performed by
another automotive service provider.
Lexus will reimburse you for any of
the repairs that are covered by war-
ranty. To receive reimbursement,
present to an authorized Lexus deal-
ership your paid repair invoices and
any parts that were removed from the
