Page: 471 / 540

What types of disputes
are eligible?
NCDS resolves disputes involving
Lexus product reliability and warranty
performance that arise during the
greater of 1) four years or 50,000
miles from the vehicle’s in-service
date, whichever is earlier; or 2) the
applicable provision of the Lexus New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. However,
NCDS will not arbitrate 1) claims
involving a vehicle used primarily for
commercial purposes unless the
Lemon Laws of your state cover vehi-
cles used for commercial purposes;
or 2) claims that an air bag failed to
deploy or deployed when it should
not have; or 3) disputes regarding
fires and/or accidents and/or theft.
Since there are other additional
exclusions, please contact NCDS
for further information on eligibility
guidelines. You must file a request
for arbitration with NCDS within six
months of the expiration of the eligi-
bility period, provided the concern
or alleged defect was brought to the
attention of Lexus or one of its dealers
during the eligibility period.
How long is the arbitration
process?
The entire process — from the time
NCDS receives your request for arbi-
tration to the arbitrator’s decision —
is designed to take no more than 40
days. A decision may be delayed if:
•
You fail to provide certain infor-
mation required by NCDS.
•
You fail to make your vehicle
available for inspection by
NCDS in a timely manner (if
an inspection is required).
How do I request arbitration?
To initiate arbitration, you must com-
plete an NCDS customer claim form
and mail it to NCDS. A claim form
is included in the
Lemon Law Guide
located in your vehicle, or you may
request a form by calling NCDS at
(866) 272-4872. When you call,
please have ready your vehicle identi-
fication number (VIN), the names of
your selling and servicing dealerships,
and the current mileage on your
Lexus.
