Each campaign in detail

Windscreen demisting recall (air-conditioning software)
Manufacturer recall
Joint recall with the Toyota bZ4X, Lexus RZ 300e/450e and Subaru Solterra: a software fault in a control unit can prevent the windscreen from being demisted or defrosted and, in some cases, put the air conditioning into degraded mode, reducing visibility. Dealerships reprogram the control unit and check the compressor, free of charge. The recall was announced in the United States, Canada and South Africa; the exact scope for France is not confirmed by the sources: check with the VIN at Lexus.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

Official notices published in France (RappelConso)

Notices from the French consumer authority (DGCCRF) linked to this model, collected on 29 October 2026.

10 August 2026 — En raison d'un problème logiciel, l'unité de commande d'assistance au stationnement qui fonctionne avec le moniteur de vue panoramique (pvm) pour afficher l'image de la caméra de recul peut geler brièvement lors de la sauvegarde si la marche arrière est sélectionnée peu de temps après le démarrage du véhicule. En outre, la caméra de recul peut ne pas apparaître la prochaine fois que le véhicule est démarré si le véhicule est allumé et éteint à nouveau dans un court laps de temps. Cela peut augmenter le risque d'accident avec une personne ou un autre véhicule lors d'un événement de soutien.

12 July 2024 — Les boîtiers de caméra sur les véhicules peuvent se désagréger sous la contrainte en raison d'une soudure incorrecte, ce qui permet l'entrée d'eau et un court-circuit potentiel. Cela pourrait entraîner la perte d'images de la caméra avant ou arrière, augmentant le risque d'accident et de blessures pour les utilisateurs qui comptent uniquement sur ces caméras pour vérifier leur environnement.
