| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1. vehicle has trouble starting. 2. starter failure. have to turn ignition several times (15-20) to get the starter to rotate. i know there was a nhtsa campaign 98v016000 on the 1995 through 1997 lexus ls400 for the starter assembly due to improper assembly of the terminal for the magnetic switch. my question is can my vehicle be covered under this campaign considering the 1998 ls400 was built in 1997. also can this cause an underhood fire in my vehicle while i'm continuing to start my vehicle with this problem persisting? thank you for your time. 3. vehicle has not been repaired yet. *jb |
