Frequently Asked Questions

8 common questions answered

What are the known NHTSA recalls for a 2013 Lexus GS 350?
The NHTSA lists 11 recalls affecting the 2013 Lexus GS 350, including eight fuel-pump-related recalls and additional recalls for the brake pedal switch, steering VGRS ECU programming, and related fuel system components. These recalls include fuel pump and fuel tank issues that can cause engine stall, a brake-pedal load sensing switch that may cause unintended braking without brake lights, and a steering ECU programming issue that can leave the wheel off-center after restart. All manufacturer actions and descriptions are sourced from NHTSA recall records and the manufacturer; Nalley Lexus Smyrna can verify your vehicle using its VIN and advise next steps.
How do I check if my 2013 Lexus GS 350 has an open recall?
You can check for open recalls by entering your VIN at NHTSA.gov or bring your vehicle to Nalley Lexus Smyrna and we will check for free. If you prefer a dealer-assisted check, schedule service and our factory-trained technicians will confirm recall status and advise on repairs. We also provide VIN checks when you call or visit our service drive in Smyrna, GA, and will notify you of any open manufacturer recalls at no charge.
How much does a 2013 Lexus GS 350 recall repair cost?
Manufacturer recall repairs are performed free of charge at an authorized dealer; there is no cost to the customer for covered recall remedies. Nalley Lexus Smyrna uses OEM parts and factory-trained technicians to complete recall repairs at no cost under the manufacturer's recall program. If you need additional non-recall repairs or optional services, ask about our current service specials and service financing via our financing application to help pay for work now and spread payments later.
Can I get my 2013 Lexus GS 350 recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Recall repairs must be performed by an authorized franchise dealer to ensure OEM parts, proper programming, and warranty compliance — we strongly recommend a certified dealer like Nalley Lexus Smyrna. Some independent shops may be able to perform mechanical work, but safety recalls frequently require manufacturer software updates or factory-specific parts and verification; only a franchise dealer can guarantee the official remedy and record the repair with the manufacturer and NHTSA. To ensure your recall is recorded and completed correctly, schedule appointment with our certified Lexus technicians at Nalley Lexus Smyrna near you in Smyrna, GA.
How long does a 2013 Lexus GS 350 recall repair take?
Repair time varies by recall: many software updates or part replacements can be completed in under a day, but some parts may require ordering and could extend turnaround time. Nalley Lexus Smyrna will provide an estimated time when you schedule service; minor items such as VGRS ECU updates often take less than a few hours while component replacements may take longer depending on parts availability. We recommend checking for recalls early and using our online scheduler to reserve a convenient appointment; ask about our service specials and service financing if you have additional work.
Does an open recall affect my 2013 Lexus GS 350's trade-in or resale value?
Yes — unresolved recalls can negatively affect trade-in value and buyer confidence because dealers and private buyers often verify recall status before purchase. Getting recall work completed at a certified dealer like Nalley Lexus Smyrna protects resale value and provides documented proof that the vehicle was repaired with OEM parts and factory procedures. When you are ready, use our trade-in tool at sell-your-car-online.htm to get an appraisal after recall repairs to maximize value.
Can I fail a state inspection because of an unresolved 2013 Lexus GS 350 recall?
While states vary, certain safety-related recalls (brakes, steering, fuel system) can be cited during inspections and may affect registration or sale; unresolved safety recalls can also impact insurance claims. Nalley Lexus Smyrna recommends resolving safety recalls promptly to avoid inspection or registration issues and to protect occupants and other road users.
