What to do now

The critical recall category applies to alpha airbags and also includes other airbags specified by Lexus. Lexus will offer to arrange for your vehicle to either be towed to the place of replacement or for a mobile technician to be sent to the vehicle (or some similar arrangement), so that you do not have to drive the vehicle in order to receive a replacement airbag.
