What is being recalled
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2025 Lexus NX350, NX250, 2023-2026 RX350, and 2024-2026 TX350 vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Why it is dangerous
A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Dealers will update the rearview camera software or replace the rearview camera, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 15, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26LB02 and 26LA02.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 26V-162 when calling a dealer.
