What is a Recall and Campaign?
You’re most likely familiar with what a recall is, but maybe not a campaign, which is common terminology for the Lexus brand. A recall is when a vehicle has a defect related to the safety of its operation, needing to be brought back to the dealership for repair. A campaign differs in that it does not involve a safety issue, but usually a quality control problem that may not be essential or hazardous, but still should be fixed. Lexus operates with both recalls and campaigns to ensure your vehicle is always able and operating under the best quality it’s able to.
Where to Find the VIN on Your Lexus
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique set of 17 numbers that is specific to your vehicle. It can easily be found in a few places, allowing you to record the number simply, depending on what’s most convenient for you at the time. Check for it on your insurance or registration, or if you’re looking for it on your vehicle itself, it’s found both on the top of the dashboard and on the door jamb on the driver-side.
