Warranty coverage is not dependent


upon the use of any particular brand
of replacement parts. However, Lexus
recommends using only Genuine
Lexus Parts when you need to replace
a part on your vehicle. Like all Lexus
products, Genuine Lexus Parts are
built to the highest standards of quali-
ty, durability and performance. They
are also designed to fit your vehicle’s
exact specifications.

Centers, the dealership has quick
access to any parts it may not have
in stock.
Genuine Lexus Parts are covered by
their own warranty (see your dealer
for details) or the remainder of any
applicable New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, whichever is longer. Non-
Genuine Lexus Parts, or any damage
or failures resulting from their use,
are not covered by any Lexus war-
