Who Is the Warrantor The warrantor for these limited
warranties is Lexus, a division of
Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.,
19001 South Western Avenue,
Torrance, California 90509-2991,
a California corporation.
Which Vehicles Are Covered These warranties apply to 2014
model-year Lexus RX 350 models
registered and normally operated in
the United States, U.S. territories and
Canada. Warranty coverage is auto -
matically transferred at no cost
to subsequent vehicle owners.
Multiple Warranty
Conditions This booklet contains warranty
terms and conditions that may vary
depending on the part covered. A
warranty for specific parts or systems,
such as the Powertrain Warranty or
Emission Performance Warranty, is
governed by the coverage set forth in
that warranty as well as the General
Warranty Provisions. When Warranty Begins The warranty period begins on the
vehicle’s in-service date, which is
the first date the vehicle is either
delivered to an ultimate purchaser,
leased, or used as a company car
or demonstrator.
Repairs Made at No Charge Repairs and adjustments covered
by these warranties are made at no
charge for parts and labor.
Parts Replacement Any needed parts replacement will
be made using new or remanufactured
parts. The decision whether a part
should be repaired or replaced will be
made by the servicing Lexus dealer -
ship and/or Lexus. Parts scheduled
to be replaced as required mainte -
nance are warranted until their first
replacement only.
Note: Lexus remanufactured parts
meet or exceed all factory standards
for safety, quality and reliability.

WARRANTY

This warranty also does not cover
the following:
Tires

warranty provided by the tire
manufac t urer. See page 34.
Normal Wear and Tear

and other deterioration caused by
normal wear and tear.

plugs and fuses; and replacement

Failure of a vehicle on which the
odometer has been altered so that
actual vehicle mileage cannot be
readily determined. Vehicles with Unknown Vehicle
Identification Number
Any vehicle for which the original
factory-assigned vehicle identification
number cannot be determined.
Salvage or Total-Loss Vehicles
Any vehicle that has ever been issued
a “salvage” title or similar title under
any state’s law; or has ever been
declared a “total loss” or equivalent
by a financial institution or insurer,
such as by payment for a claim in
lieu of repairs because the cost of
repairs exceeded the cash value of the
vehicle. This exclusion does not apply
to the emission control warranties.
Incidental Damages

associated with a vehicle failure.
Such damages include but are not
limited to inconvenience; the cost of

WARRANTY*Lexus provides the first two scheduled maintenance services at no charge. See page 4 for details.

You are responsible for performance
of the required maintenance indi -
cated in the Owner’s Manual and this
guide. Lexus will not deny a warranty
claim solely because you do not have
records to show that you maintained
your vehicle. However, any failure or
noncompliance caused by lack
of maintenance is not covered by
this warranty.
When maintenance and repairs
are paid for by you, these services
may be performed by you or by
any automotive service provider
you choose. Lexus will not deny
a warranty claim solely because you
used a service provider other than
a Lexus dealership for maintenance
and repairs. However, any failure or
noncompliance caused by improper
maintenance or repairs is not covered
by this warranty. To ensure optimum performance
and maintain the quality built into
your vehicle’s emission control
systems, Lexus recommends the
use of Genuine Lexus Parts when
servicing or repairing the systems.
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular brand
of replacement parts and you may
elect to use non- g enuine Lexus
Parts for maintenance and repairs.
h owever, use of replacement parts
that are not equivalent in quality to
g enuine Lexus Parts may impair
the effectiveness of the emission
control systems.
If you use replacement parts that
have maintenance or replacement
schedules different from those of
Genuine Lexus Parts, you must follow
the maintenance and replacement
schedules for the parts you are using.
In addition, you should ensure that
such parts are warranted by their
manufacturers to be equivalent to
Genuine Lexus Parts.R EPLACEMENT P ARTSM AINTENANCE

WARRANTY

To ensure optimum performance
and maintain the quality built into
your vehicle’s emission control sys -
tems, Lexus recommends the use of
Genuine Lexus Parts when servicing
or repairing the systems.
Warranty coverage is not depen -
dent upon the use of any particular
brand of replacement parts and you
may elect to use non- g enuine Lexus
Parts for maintenance and repairs.
h owever, use of replacement parts
that are not equivalent in quality to
g enuine Lexus Parts may impair
the effectiveness of the emission
control systems.
If you use replacement parts that
have maintenance or replacement
schedules different from those of
Genuine Lexus Parts, you must follow
the maintenance and replacement
schedules for the parts you are using.
In addition, you should ensure that
such parts are warranted by their
manufacturers to be equivalent to
Genuine Lexus Parts. If your vehicle fails a smog-check test,
you may make a claim under the
Emission Performance Warranty. To
do so, take your vehicle to an autho -
r ized Lexus dealership and present
a copy of the smog-check test report.
Also, take your maintenance records
in case they are needed.
If your claim qualifies for coverage,
the dealership will repair your vehicle
within 30 days (unless a shorter period
is required by law). If your claim is
denied, Lexus will notify you in writing
of the reason within the same period.
If we fail to do so, we will repair your
vehicle free of charge. The only excep -
tions allowed are when you request
or agree to a delay, or when a delay is
caused by factors beyond the control
of Lexus or the dealership.

service under the Emission Defect
Warranty, see page 37, “Obtaining
