Lexus service schedule and warranty

[Christian89]

Hi all, 

Purchased an approved used 2020 with 44k on the clock with its last service at 44k.

Since the service schedule is out of line with the recommended 40/50k etc, if I don’t get it done until 54k and there happens to be an engine issue, is the warranty going to be voided due to a lack of maintenance at the recommended mileages?

I asked this at the dealership and although I initially thought they stated I don’t need to get a service until 54k, now I’m finding their answer slightly cryptic and unclear.

Many thanks

The service activated warranty lasts for 10k miles or 12 months whichever comes first following the service. So if it was done at 44k miles the car is covered until 54k miles unless 12 months come up first before the mileage reaches 54k. The car should also have a Used Car warranty on it as well.

Thanks. It was just the wording in the warranty which states the service schedule must be followed for the warranty to be valid, which had me thinking if I get spark plugs at 64k and something goes wrong is there going to be an issue. Probably looking too much into it.

It's not uncommon for service intervals to get out of sync with mileage if less than 10k miles are done per annum and so items on the service schedule will be done based on the age or at the closest mileage. If you have the car serviced by Lexus they will do what is needed when so you will have no cause for concern regards the warranty so long as you take it in within the 10k miles / 12 months whichever comes first each time.
