How to check if your Lexus IS has a recall

A recall covers specific build dates and vehicle identification numbers (VINs), not every Lexus IS on the road. To see whether yours is affected:

Look up your VIN or registration on the official recall checker for the country where the car is registered: KBA (Germany), EU Safety Gate (Netherlands), NHTSA (United States), MLIT (Japan), DVSA (UK), RappelConso (France).
Ask an authorised Lexus dealer: recall repairs are free, including on used cars and cars serviced elsewhere.
Add the car to your watched vehicles on Recaller Book and get an email when a new campaign is published for it.
