When you invest in a new Lexus, understanding the protection that comes with it is essential. Your new luxury vehicle includes comprehensive warranty coverage designed to provide peace of mind from the moment you drive off the lot. This coverage protects against defects in materials and workmanship while ensuring your Lexus maintains its exceptional quality. Lexus of Wilmington is here to explain all the details of your warranty package.
What the Basic Warranty Covers
Protecting your new Lexus starts with the basic warranty, which covers your Lexus vehicle for 48 months or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty addresses Lexus repairs to correct defects in materials and manufacture. Additionally, your powertrain receives extended protection for 72 months or 70,000 miles, covering essential components including your engine, transmission, and drive system. For hybrid models, the Lexus hybrid system receives coverage for 8 years or 100,000 miles, and the battery gets even longer coverage for 10 years or 150,000 miles.
Additional Lexus Protection and Benefits
Your new Lexus coverage extends beyond basic repairs to include valuable services that enhance your ownership experience. Every new Lexus vehicle comes with complimentary roadside assistance for 48 months with unlimited mileage, available 24 hours a day throughout the year. Your vehicle also includes LexusCare™ complimentary scheduled maintenance at 6 months or 5,000 miles and again at 12 months or 10,000 miles. There are also long-term protection options available for your new Lexus that you can discuss with our team.
What Won't a Lexus Warranty Cover?
While the Lexus new-vehicle warranty offers extensive protection against defects in materials or workmanship, it is not designed to cover every aspect of vehicle ownership. Routine maintenance remains the owner's responsibility. Services such as Lexus oil changes, tire rotations, brake service, fluid replacements, and filter changes are considered regular upkeep and are not included under the warranty. The warranty also doesn't cover consumable parts that need periodic replacement as part of normal vehicle maintenance, or everyday cosmetic wear and tear.
The new Lexus warranty may also exclude repairs when damage results from external causes, neglect, or improper care. Accidents, environmental conditions, road hazards, misuse, racing, or failing to follow the recommended maintenance schedule can all affect warranty eligibility. Likewise, issues tied to aftermarket modifications or non-Lexus replacement parts may not qualify for coverage under the factory warranty.
