Step 3

If your concern has still not been 
resolved to your satisfaction, Lexus 
offers additional assistance through:

National Center for Dispute 
Settlement (NCDS) 
P.O. Box 688 
Mt. Clemens, MI  48046 
(866) 272-4872

Important: 

You must use NCDS 

prior to exercising rights or seeking 
remedies available to you through 
a court action pursuant to the 
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. 
In addition, you must use NCDS if 
you are required to do so prior to 
exercising certain rights or seeking 
certain remedies available under 
the Lemon Laws of your state. See 
the 

Lemon Law Guide

 for specific 

requirements applicable in your state. 

However, if your state law permits and 
if you choose to exercise rights and 
seek remedies that are not created 
by the Act, you need not use NCDS.

NCDS Arbitration

What is the Dispute  
Settlement Program?

This program consists of local 
professionals who are trained 
and experienced in arbitration. 
The arbitrator(s) appointed by 
NCDS will arbitrate your case by 
reviewing the facts you present; 
having the vehicle inspected, if 
necessary; and promptly rendering 
a fair and equitable decision.

How much will it cost?

The service is provided at no cost 
to you. It is part of Lexus’ effort to 
promptly and equitably resolve 
your concerns. The decision-
maker is an impartial third party. 
The decision of the arbitrator(s) is 
binding on Lexus but not on you.
