Nobody wants to receive a Lexus recall notice, but it may be necessary if the manufacturer detects a critical defect or safety issue. It’s important to schedule a service or repair appointment when you receive a recall notice, as your vehicle may need immediate attention. Courtesy of Lexus of Jacksonville, here’s what to do when a Lexus recall is issued.
Read the Recall Notice Carefully
A recall can be issued for numerous reasons, especially if the manufacturer notices a safety problem or needs to replace malfunctioning parts. If you receive a recall notice, make sure you read it over carefully to look for these details:
- Model information: Which vehicles are affected?
- Recalled parts: What parts are affected?
- Service recommendations: What services will correct the issue?
- Recall service terms: How long will complimentary recall service be offered?
