Frequently Asked Questions

12 common questions answered

What are the known NHTSA recalls for a 2018 Lexus IS 350?
The NHTSA has issued 14 recalls affecting the 2018 Lexus IS 350 covering air bag inflators, fuel pump assemblies, and fuel system components. Those recalls include seven air bag-related campaigns that address potentially rupturing inflators, five fuel-pump recalls that can allow pump failure and engine stall, and two fuel-system recalls addressing cracked pulsation-damper diaphragms that could cause fuel leaks. All corrective actions are free under the manufacturer recall program and Nalley Lexus Smyrna will complete them using OEM parts and factory-trained technicians.
How do I check if my 2018 Lexus IS 350 has an open recall?
You can check for open recall status quickly by entering your VIN at NHTSA.gov or by contacting Nalley Lexus Smyrna for a free VIN check. If you prefer dealer assistance, call or bring your VIN to Nalley Lexus Smyrna and our service advisors will verify NHTSA records and explain any affected components and recommended repairs. To bring the vehicle in, schedule service with our factory-trained team and we will confirm recalls at no charge.
How much does a 2018 Lexus IS 350 recall repair cost?
Recall repairs for the 2018 Lexus IS 350 are performed at no cost to the owner when the issue is covered by the manufacturer recall. Nalley Lexus Smyrna will perform any required replacement—such as replacing an air bag inflator, fuel pump, or fuel delivery pipe—using OEM parts free of charge under the recall campaign. If you need payment assistance for non-recall services, ask about service financing when you schedule appointment.
Can I get my 2018 Lexus IS 350 recall fixed at an independent shop or do I need a dealer?
Manufacturer-authorized recall repairs must be performed by an authorized franchise dealer to ensure OEM parts and a validated repair that preserves your warranty and safety compliance. Independent shops cannot always access the exact OEM replacement parts or the manufacturer's repair procedures; for safety-critical items like air bag inflators and fuel pumps, a certified dealer is the safest choice. Nalley Lexus Smyrna is a factory-authorized Lexus dealer with OEM parts, Lexus diagnostic tools, and factory-trained technicians—book online to schedule service.
How long does a 2018 Lexus IS 350 recall repair take?
Repair times vary by recall and parts availability, but many recall repairs for the 2018 Lexus IS 350 take a few hours; some remedies may require parts ordering and a follow-up visit. For example, air bag inflator replacement or fuel delivery pipe replacement typically requires a same-day appointment when parts are in stock; fuel pump assembly replacements can sometimes require longer if a special assembly is needed. You can minimize wait times by contacting Nalley Lexus Smyrna ahead of time and schedule appointment so we can prepare parts and a service bay; check our current offers under service specials.
Does an open recall affect my 2018 Lexus IS 350's trade-in or resale value?
An unresolved manufacturer recall can reduce buyer confidence and may negatively affect trade-in or resale value if the issue remains unaddressed. Many dealers and private buyers check NHTSA recall records prior to purchase; resolving recalls at a franchise dealer documents that required safety work was completed with OEM parts. Protect your vehicle's value by completing free recall work at Nalley Lexus Smyrna and consider getting an appraisal via our trade-in tool once service is complete.
Can I fail a state inspection because of an unresolved 2018 Lexus IS 350 recall?
Some recalls affect systems that can cause a vehicle to fail safety inspections depending on state rules; unresolved safety recalls may also impact insurance claims in the event of an incident. Because recalls for air bags, fuel pumps, and fuel delivery components can create safety and emission concerns, we recommend addressing open recalls promptly to avoid inspection or insurance complications. Contact Nalley Lexus Smyrna to confirm whether a specific open recall could affect your Georgia inspection and schedule service at your convenience.
