COLLISION REPAIR INFORMATION

REVISION HISTORY

May 2022: Document formatting and content updated.

Toyota, Lexus, and Scion vehicles are engineered and manufactured as an integrated assembly of parts designed to work together to protect occupants during a collision.

To help preserve the performance of Toyota, Lexus, and Scion vehicles, Toyota publishes detailed repair procedures and produces Genuine parts. Repairing a vehicle using Genuine parts while following factory published procedures ensures that each vehicle will be restored to correct specifications following a collision.

Parts that are not Toyota, Lexus, or Scion Genuine parts, including any damage or failures resulting from their use, are not covered by any Toyota or Lexus warranty.  Like all Toyota, Lexus, and Scion products, Genuine parts are built to the highest standards of quality, durability, and performance. They are also designed to fit your vehicle's exact specifications. If alternative parts are used, systems may not operate correctly or be disabled, which may result in serious injury or death.

Toyota and Lexus do not support the use of any alternative parts in collision repair procedures, due to the sensitive nature of safety or vehicle performance systems and their effect on vehicle crashworthiness.

Alternative parts include but are not limited to:

• Aftermarket Parts: Parts manufactured and branded by a company other than Toyota, Lexus, or Scion.
• Rebuilt Parts: Parts that have been removed from a Toyota, Lexus, or Scion vehicle that have been refurbished/reconditioned for resale.
• Salvage/Recycled Parts: Parts removed from a vehicle, then installed on a different vehicle.
