Quick answer. A recall by itself does not make a vehicle a lemon. It matters when the repair does not fix the problem after reasonable attempts, or when the manufacturer cannot complete the repair in a reasonable time. The rules differ by state. This is general information, not legal advice.

What is the defect?

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."

What is the consequence?

A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

What is the manufacturer's remedy?

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.

Vehicles covered

  • Lexus NX, 2022–2025
  • Lexus RX, 2023–2026

Is your vehicle included?

  • Find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side door jamb sticker or at the base of the windshield.
  • Enter it on NHTSA's recall lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows open recalls for that exact vehicle.
  • Or ask any dealer for the make. A recall repair costs you nothing.

How this recall can matter to a lemon law claim

A recall repair counts as a repair attempt when the same problem keeps coming back. Keep every repair order, with the dates the vehicle went in and came out, because days out of service can count toward your state's threshold. If the problem returns after the recall repair, that history is what a claim is built on.
