Reporting safety defects for 
U.S. owners

If you believe that your vehicle has a 
defect which could cause a crash or 
could cause injury or death, you 
should immediately inform the 
National Highway Traffic Safety 
Administration (NHTSA) in addition 
to notifying the Lexus Division of 
Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. 
(Toll-free: 1-800-25-LEXUS).

If NHTSA receives similar com-
plaints, it may open an investigation, 
and if it finds that a safety defect 
exists in a group of vehicles, it may
