Whether you’ve heard about a recall online or received a notice about your car, a Lexus recall notice can be worrying. Luckily, all you need to do is visit our service team at Fields Lexus of Glenview to take care of the issue, so there’s no reason to delay.
What Is a Recall?
All cars are rigorously tested before they are sent to a dealership, but much more information on potential problems is available when drivers start getting behind the wheel. If either the manufacturer or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration detects a problem down the road, they can issue a safety recall. If a recall is issued, you will be alerted by mail within 60 days.
What Should I Do?
A recall is not something to put off, but the good news is you won’t be charged. Your dealership has one of three options, depending on the nature of the fault: they can repair the part or replace it entirely, at no extra cost to you, or, in rare cases, they can refund the entire cost of the car, minus depreciation. Contact our Lexus service center to find out the next steps for your recall.
What Needs a Recall?
Recalls are only issued for part failures that make the car less safe to drive. This includes faulty airbags, gas leaks, and other fuel system issues, or brake issues that can cause major accidents. If you’ve received a recall, your car has an urgent safety issue, so you should make an appointment as soon as possible.
