Default Quick question about car warranty

Friend of mine got into an accident, it was a front end collision, but it was not his fault. Anyways, the car is fixed now and here is the problem. His radiator is leaking and the car is still under warranty. Can he fix this under warranty ? or since the car was involved in an accident, the dealer will deny?

Thanks

Good question.
I'd say probably not and a definite no if Lexus parts weren't used.

Same,maybe worse.
Lexus service does lean more to the customer,IMO.

All automotive warranties exclude damage due to accidents.
