shortage impacting certain microchips. The affected vehicles were delivered with one (1) Smart Key and a second mechanical key.
Program Details
Any authorized Lexus dealer will duplicate and provide the owner with one (1) additional Smart Key FREE OF CHARGE.. Lexus has
sufficient parts to begin a phased implementation of the remedy. Refer to the table in the attached FAQ to determine the remedy status
and dates that Lexus estimates the remedy will become available for each model.
Second Key Program Phase Interpretation
This program will be launched in phases due to parts availability. Only vehicles in the currently launched phase(s) will be searchable on
TIS. If a guest contacts your dealer about status of the program on their vehicle and it is not applicable to this program on TIS/SLP, use
the table in the attached FAQ to further assist the guest on coverage and timing of launch for their phase.

Covered Vehicles
There are approximately 18,500 vehicles covered by this Second Key Delivery Program at this time. Approximately 200
vehicles covered by this Second Key Delivery Program were distributed to Puerto Rico.
Owner Letter Mailing Date
A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference.
Phase 1 Guest Mailing

June 2023

Lexus makes significant effort to obtain current guest 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 Second Key Delivery Program
announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the guest 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 providing a second key to any guest.. Dealers should program
the second key as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS.

Dealer Inventory Procedures
New and Used (not certified) Vehicles in Dealership Inventory (In-Stock Vehicles)
To ensure guest satisfaction, Lexus requests that dealers deliver the second key under this Second Key Delivery Program on any new
or used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this phase of the Second Key Delivery Program prior to guest delivery.
However, if the second key is not immediately available for delivery at the time of sale, delivery of a covered vehicle is acceptable,
provided that the guest is clearly informed that they will only be receiving one key at the time of delivery until the second key is available.
Lexus expects dealers to use the attached Guest 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 guest when the second key is available.
Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to qc@lexus.com. In the subject line of the email state “Disclosure
Form 23LJ01” and include the VIN.
Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle (In-Stock Vehicles)
For a vehicle that is covered by this phase of the Second Key Delivery Program to be sold as a Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle
(LCUV), the Second Key Delivery Program will need to be completed prior to delivery to the guest. Please note: the second keys are
available as of the date of this notice for the vehicles that are covered in this phase of the program, so please check your inventory for
any of the above-referenced models, and if applicable, immediately order the second key through TIS so it will be available at the time
of sale.

Guest Handling, Parts Ordering, and Remedy Procedures
Guest Contacts
Guests who receive the owner letter may contact your dealership with questions regarding the letter and/or the Second Key Delivery
Program. Please welcome them to your dealership and answer any questions that they may have. A Q&A is provided to assure a

A12:

Q13:
A13:

It will take 45 minutes to pair the key to the vehicle. However, depending upon the dealer’s work schedule, it may be necessary to
make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.
Yes. Guests will need to bring the vehicle and original Smart Key equipped with their vehicle to their appointment. The original key
will be used to program the new Smart Key to the vehicle.
Some vehicles have a different Smart Key that is not being impacted at this time.
NX, RX, LX and RZ

The Type #2 (15CY) and Type #3/Type #4 (19CY) Smart Keys have a different design and use different semiconductors. The
models that use these different types of Smart Keys are explained in the chart below. Due to differences in the supply of the
semiconductors used, the timeline for each type is different.
We continue to work diligently to minimize the impact to our guests. At this time, we estimate that all models will return to production
with two (2) Smart Keys in the fourth quarter of 2023. Depending on the parts supply situation, which continues to evolve and may
further change, we are currently aiming to begin providing affected guests with their second Smart Key in phases beginning in June
2023.
We plan to notify affected guests by first class mail when second keys are available and ask guests to return to a Lexus dealer with
their vehicle and original Smart Key so dealers can program a new second key and provide it to the guest. The mailing will also occur
in phases, and the timing will be approximately one week after the announcement of each phase.

No. The second key delivery is not considered part of Lexus’ New Vehicle Limited Warranty. This is simply the delivery of the second
Smart Key included in the purchase of the vehicle, but which was unavailable at the time of the vehicle delivery due to the ongoing
chip shortage situation.

Yes. Depending on the model, a message may display for up to 10 days and is intended to provide the owner a notice that a new key
has been registered. This message is displayed to inform the owner that a new key has been registered and help prevent the vehicle
from being stolen if the registration was unauthorized. Refer to the Repair Manual or Owner’s Manual for more information.

What if a guest hat lost their original key or has an urgent need for a second key, but is not yet eligible for the program because they
are involved in a later phase?

If a guest has lost their only Smart Key or has an urgent need for a second key, please provide them with a second key as a goodwill
gesture if they are involved in a later phase. For other extenuating circumstances, please have the guest contact the Lexus Guest
Experience Center for further assistance.

The table below describes the phases currently planned for the Second Key Delivery
Program and the estimated timing of announcement. This table will be updated over
time as more details become available.

Dealers can identify which models were produced with one (1) Smart Key and which
phase a vehicle belongs to using the chart below.
Example: Guest has an LC produced in December 2022. Confirm the production
date of the vehicle against the Start and End Production Dates in the table below to
confirm if the vehicle was produced with one (1) Smart Key. If so, check the color of
the box corresponding to the model and production month in the table below, and
compare to the Phase summary table to the left. The box for LC produced in
December has a dark green color which means it is part of Phase 1, which is
currently estimated to be announced in June 2023.

Second Key Delivery Program
[VIN]
Dear Lexus Guest:

At Lexus, we are dedicated to providing vehicles of outstanding quality and value. As a result of a global semiconductor shortage,
your vehicle was delivered with only one (1) Smart Key, instead of two. As supply of Smart Keys improves, Lexus is announcing a
Second Key Delivery Program, which includes your vehicle.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on state registration and title data, indicate that you are the
current owner. You may have received a previous communication notifying you that your vehicle is affected.
What is the reason for the program?
The subject vehicles were delivered with only one (1) Smart Key on select models since November 2022 due to a global
semiconductor shortage impacting certain microchips. The affected vehicles were delivered with one (1) Smart Key and a second
mechanical key.
What will Lexus do?
Any authorized Lexus dealer will duplicate and provide the owner with one (1) additional Smart Key FREE OF CHARGE..
What should you do?
To minimize inconvenience, please contact your authorized Lexus dealer to make an appointment to have the additional Smart Key
transmitter duplicated and provided to you. This will require your dealer to order a new key for your vehicle in advance of your
appointment. We recommend you contact your dealer to schedule an appointment in advance to confirm parts availability and
minimize your inconvenience. The registration of the new key will take approximately 45 minutes. However, depending on the dealer’s
work schedule, it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time.
