Condition
Due to improper programming of the Data Communication Module (DCM), which provides cellular communication in various situations,
including emergencies, the driver and Safety Connect operator may not be able to hear each other’s voices during a Safety Connect call.
Remedy
Any authorized Lexus dealer will update the DCM software FREE OF CHARGE.
Covered Vehicles
There are approximately 55,700 vehicles covered by this Special Service Campaign. Approximately 200 vehicles involved in this Special
Service Campaign were distributed to Puerto Rico.
Owner Letter Mailing Date
Lexus will begin to notify owners in late-March 2022. 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 Special 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 Special Service Campaign on any new or used vehicles currently
in dealer inventory that are covered by this Special 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 Special 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 quality_compliance@toyota.com. In the subject line of the email state,
“Disclosure Form 22LC01” 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 an L/Certified vehicle until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special
Service Campaigns, and Limited Service Campaigns have been completed on that vehicle.

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 Special Service
Campaign. Please welcome them to your dealership and answer any questions that they may have. A Q&A is provided to assure a consistent
message is communicated.
Customers with additional questions or concerns are asked to please contact the Lexus Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-255-3987
Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Eastern Time.
Head Unit Notifications
Head unit notifications are electronic messages that are displayed in the vehicle’s audio system screen. Customers who receive head unit
notification regarding this Special Service Campaign are requested to schedule an appointment with their authorized dealer to have this
Special Service Campaign completed.
When these messages are received by the vehicle’s Data Communication Module, the head unit will display a pop-up prompt stating that the
vehicle has a new Special Service Campaign. The prompt will contain options to ‘Remind Me’ or to ‘View’ the message. If a customer chooses
‘Remind Me’, the customer can then choose to be reminded again on next trip, in 7 days, or in 30 days. If a customer views and then closes
the message, the message will be available in the Notification App if the customer chooses to review it again. If the vehicle’s completion status
remains incomplete for a period of 90 days from the message being viewed, the head unit may display a renotification pop-up prompt as an
additional reminder to the customer to have this Special Service Campaign completed.
The message will completely clear from the vehicle once the following conditions are met: The Special Service Campaign is completed, the
dealer has filed a claim, and the claim is approved by Lexus. Then the message will be cleared at the next clearing cycle, which currently
happens daily.
Owners who receive a head unit notification after having this Special Service Campaign completed can be advised to ignore the message.
Owners with additional concerns can be directed to the Lexus Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-255-3987 Monday through Friday,
8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Eastern Time.
