what types of decisions are
rendered, and how do i know
if Lexus will abide by the
decision of the arbitrator(s)?
Arbitrated decisions are based on
what the arbitrator(s) believe to be
fair and equitable after applying
the appropriate legal standards.
Remedies include but are not limited
to repairs; reimbursement for repairs
and incidental expenses, such as
towing costs; and repurchase or
replacement of your vehicle.
The decision of the arbitrator(s) is
binding on Lexus but not on you.
Lexus must comply with the decision
shortly after it is rendered, usually
within 30 days of your acceptance
of the decision. NCDS will contact
you within 10 days of scheduled
compliance to ensure that Lexus
has complied in a timely manner.
