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 2015
model-year Lexus GS 350 models
registered and normally operated
in the United States, U.S. territories
and Canada. Warranty coverage is
automatically 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
dealership and/or Lexus. Parts
scheduled to be replaced as required
maintenance are warranted until
their first replacement only.
Note: Lexus remanufactured parts
meet or exceed all factory standards
for safety, quality and reliability.

Emission Defect Warranty
Lexus warrants that your vehicle:
• Was designed, built and
equipped to conform at the
time of sale with applicable
federal emissions standards.
• Is free from defects in materials
and workmanship that may
cause the vehicle to fail to
meet these standards.
Federal regulations require that this
warranty be in effect for two years
or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s
in-service date, whichever occurs
first. However, under the terms of
the Basic Warranty, Lexus provides
coverage of four years or 50,000
miles, which ever occurs first. Specific
components may have longer
coverage under the terms of the
Powertrain Warranty. Additionally,
components marked “8/80” in
the parts list on pages 23–24 have
coverage of eight years or 80,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
Emission Performance
Warranty
Some states and localities have
established vehicle inspection
and maintenance (I/M) programs
to encourage proper vehicle
maintenance. If an EPA-approved
I/M program is in force in your
area, you are eligible for Emission
Performance Warranty coverage.
Under the terms of the Emission
Performance Warranty and
federal regulations, Lexus will
make all nec essary repairs if
both of the following occur:
• Your vehicle fails to meet
applicable emissions standards
as determined by an
EPA-approved emissions test.
• This failure results or will result
in some penalty to you — such
as a fine or denial of the right
to use your vehicle — under
local, state or federal law.
This warranty is in effect for two years
or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s
in-service date, whichever occurs first.
Additionally, components marked
“8/80” in the parts list on pages 23–24
have coverage of eight years or
80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
