- Hybrid and EV componentsThe inverter, electric drive motor, onboard charger, DC-DC converter and battery cooling pump.
How much factory warranty is left on your LC?
Estimate only, assuming the car was first sold early in its model year. Your in-service date is on your registration or available from a dealer.
Lexus LC factory warranty
New Lexus vehicles typically come with basic coverage for 4 years or 50,000 miles and powertrain coverage for 6 years or 70,000 miles, whichever comes first. Coverage starts on the date the vehicle was first sold. Terms can differ by model year, so confirm yours in the warranty booklet or with a Lexus dealer.
Why body style matters
Sports cars are driven harder and built with tighter tolerances. Clutches, limited-slip differentials and high-output engines cost more to repair, and plans commonly exclude damage from racing or track use.
Naturally aspirated gas engine
A conventional gas engine has no turbocharger, which removes one expensive part. The costly failures are internal: timing chain components, head gaskets, oil pumps and, on direct-injection engines, the high-pressure fuel pump. Powertrain-level plans cover these internally lubricated parts.
Hybrid system
A hybrid adds a high-voltage battery, an inverter, one or more motor-generators and an electric air-conditioning compressor. The hybrid battery usually has its own long factory warranty. Many extended plans exclude the battery but cover the inverter and motors, so read that section carefully.
About Lexus
Lexus has an excellent reliability record. When repairs are needed they tend to involve luxury features such as air suspension, power accessories and infotainment rather than the engine itself.
