Default Oscilating Vent

Today i made a normal trip 2 Kroger, and I realized that the passenger oscilating vent wasnt oscilating, but the driver's was moving... When i turned off the car both vents r suppose 2 move inwrds, but only the driver's one moved!

Any ideas on what happened, and how 2 fix is greatly appreciated... BTW do u think it is covered under Lexus Warranty, or will they say "Wear and Tear". I have an 01 so it still is under normal warranties\


Thanks

Of course your problem will be covered under the basic warranty if your mileage is under 50K. And even if it is over 50K it is worth a shot since it is still less than 4 years old. The general recommendation is to report everything that you think might be wrong to a Lexus dealer before the basic warranty expires. If an unresolved but reported problem becomes obvious in a "reasonable" time (whatever that is) after the basic warranty expires, it is likely that it will be repaired under the warranty. My warranty expires July 31 on my 2000 LS and I am doing exactly what I am recommending to you. I may even take the car in on Friday, July 30 for a final check on the non-drivetrain components.
