Owners of 2024 and 2025 Lexus LC coupes and convertibles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor are covered by NHTSA recall 25V744000. Toyota identified a software error that can cause the rearview camera to freeze or to display nothing at all when the LC is placed in reverse. That failure means the car does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 111, "Rear Visibility." With the LC's low roofline and limited over-the-shoulder visibility, a dead camera image is easy to notice and, per Toyota, reduces the driver's view behind the car and raises crash risk. The 1,024,407-vehicle figure quoted by NHTSA is the size of the entire multi-brand campaign.

Common Symptoms

  • Rear camera image frozen when reversing
  • Blank screen in place of the rearview camera picture
  • Panoramic View Monitor fails to display a live view

How to Fix

The fix is a free parking assist software update performed by a Lexus dealer - it restores the live reverse image without any hardware replacement. Toyota's campaign numbers are 25TB13 and 25LB06, with owner letters mailed January 2, 2026. Verify your LC's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls or call Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 if you are unsure whether the update has been done.

The LC flagship coupe shares the same frustrating Remote Touch Interface touchpad and laggy infotainment as other Lexus models. On a $100,000+ vehicle, the slow response times and imprecise touchpad control are a particularly sharp contrast to the otherwise exceptional driving experience. The system is widely criticized in professional reviews.

This issue also affects: Lexus IS, Lexus LS, Lexus NX

Common Symptoms

  • Multi-second input lag on touchpad
  • Cursor overshoots targets requiring multiple corrections
  • System freezes during navigation
  • Slow Bluetooth audio streaming startup

How to Fix

Update to the latest infotainment software version. The 2022+ LC received a touchscreen update that significantly improves usability. For pre-2022 models, use Apple CarPlay (added 2020) or voice commands to minimize touchpad interaction.

Owner tips & cautions

  • TipThe 2022 infotainment update with touchscreen capability is available as a retrofit for 2018-2021 LC models at the dealer. It is a significant improvement worth the investment.
