Toyota subsidiary Lexus is recalling over 144,000 vehicles because of a camera issue. The problem seems to occur across a wide range of Lexus\u2019 current lineup, with the National Highway Ttraffic Safety Administration\u2019s recall notices<\/a> naming the NX250 and NX350, 2023\u20132026 RX350 and 2024\u20132026 TX350 from model years 2020 through to 2025.<\/p>\n

The recall notice states that the rear-view camera may not display when the affected vehicles are placed in reverse. This is considered a safety issue as it impacts what the driver can see and increases the odds of a collision. If this all sounds a bit familiar, that’s because it is. Rear camera issues have plagued a number of manufacturers in recent years, with Lexus’ parent company, Toyota, being particularly hard hit by them.<\/p>\n

In a move that may irritate some Lexus owners, the issue seems to be software-related but the fix still requires a visit to the dealership. Despite over the air updates being a thing for around a decade.<\/p>\n

If you do own a Lexus, and are currently ranting about how all of this \u201ccould have been an email\u201d then you aren\u2019t alone. A number of Honda’s<\/a> which have also faced their share of camera and infotainment issues in recent times also required a dealer visit to fix.<\/p>\n

To check if your vehicle is affected, you can call your dealership or enter your Lexus\u2019 information on the NHTSA website.<\/p>\n

The latest recall shows Toyota isn\u2019t bulletproof, but should you expect it to be?<\/h2>\n

At AutoNotion, we\u2019ve called out Ford<\/a> for its various recalls a number of times. However, it\u2019s arguably more important to flag issues at the likes of Toyota, due to the company\u2019s reputation for reliability.<\/p>\n

Over a million of the Japanese manufacturer\u2019s vehicles have been recalled in the first few months of 2026. Admittedly, a single recall does account for more than half of that. 550,000 Highlander SUVs were flagged in March because of an issue with their second-row seats.<\/p>\n

It isn\u2019t the first massive recall in Toyota\u2019s recent history either. In late 2025 over a million vehicles from Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru were recalled due to a different camera issue. Apparently a different software glitch caused issues with the rear view cameras in some vehicles, causing similar issues to what Lexus is currently seeing.<\/p>\n

To mitigate for Toyota and Ford somewhat, they are both almost guaranteed to have a high number of recalls. Both manufacturers sell huge numbers of vehicles, Toyota reports over two million US sales per year, as does Ford. So any issue whatsoever is likely to affect tens of thousands, if not millions of vehicles in these cases.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the fact that pretty much all vehicles<\/a> face some kind of recall in their lifetime. Some of these recalls can be very minor, such as a typo in the manual or an issue that stops the massage seats working properly. A million vehicles being recalled because their passenger windows might not wind down is not as bad as a handful being recalled because the battery might just decide to randomly combust and burn your garage down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
