Due to incorrect programming in the DCM software, after November 2nd, 2019, the GPS coordinates for this system will be calculated incorrectly. This will cause the system to use incorrect vehicle coordinates if one of the system’s features is activated. Remedy For all involved vehicles, any authorized Lexus dealer will reprogram the Data Communication Module at NO CHARGE to the vehicle owner. Note: The vehicle does not need to have a current Safety Connect subscription to have this LSC performed. This Limited Service Campaign will be available until December 1, 2022 and is only available at an authorized Lexus dealer. Covered Vehicles There are approximately 283,100 vehicles covered by this Limited Service Campaign. There were no vehicles distributed to Puerto Rico. Note: Only vehicles which currently have or previously had an active Safety Connect subscription on or after 10/1/2017 are involved in this Limited Service Campaign. © 2019 Lexus, A Division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA L i m i t e d S e r v i c e C a m p a i g n K L G - D - P a g e | 2 Owner Letter Mailing Date Lexus will begin to notify owners in Mid-September 2019. A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference. Lexus makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a vehicle that was sold prior to the Limited Service Campaign announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle. Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS. Dealer Inventory Procedures New and Used Vehicles in Dealership Inventory (In-Stock Vehicles) To ensure customer satisfaction, Lexus requests that dealers complete this Limited Service Campaign on any new or used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this Limited Service Campaign prior to customer delivery. However, if the campaign cannot be completed (for example, due to remedy parts availability), delivery of a covered vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in a Limited Service Campaign. Lexus expects dealers to use the attached Customer Contact and Vehicle Disclosure Form to obtain vehicle buyer information. Dealers are expected to provide a copy of the completed form, along with the most current FAQ, to the vehicle buyer. Lexus and the dealer may use this information to contact the customer when the remedy becomes available. Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to [email protected]. In the subject line of the email state “Disclosure Form KLG” and include the VIN. NOTE: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (https://dealerdaily.lexus.com/). The Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns. L/Certified Vehicles L/Certified policy prohibits the certification of any vehicle with an outstanding Safety Recall, Special Service Campaign, or Limited Service Campaign. Thus, no affected units are to be designated, sold, or delivered as L/Certified until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special Service Campaigns, and Limited Service Campaigns have been completed on that vehicle. © 2019 Lexus, A Division of Toyota Motor Sales, USA L i m i t e d S e r v i c e C a m p a i g n K L G - D - P a g e | 3 Customer Handling, Parts Ordering, and Remedy Procedures Customer Contacts Customers who receive the owner letter may contact your dealership with questions regarding the letter and/or the Limited Service Campaign.
