On the 2023-2026 Lexus RX, nHTSA recall 25V744000 covers 2023-2026 Lexus RX crossovers equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor. Toyota reports a software error in the system that can cause the RX's rearview camera to freeze or to present a blank screen at the moment the driver selects reverse, which means the vehicle fails the requirements of FMVSS 111, "Rear Visibility." Toyota's stated consequence is a reduced view behind the vehicle and an increased crash risk. Note that this is a distinct defect from the RX's other reported infotainment screen freezing complaints - here the cause is specifically identified by Toyota as a parking assist software error. The campaign total of about 1,024,407 vehicles spans every Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru Solterra model involved.

Common Symptoms

  • Rear camera picture frozen after selecting reverse
  • Blank screen where the backup camera image should be
  • Panoramic View Monitor does not display the area behind the vehicle

How to Fix

The remedy is free: a Lexus dealer updates the parking assist software (Toyota recall numbers 25TB13 and 25LB06). Owner letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Since the RX is covered across four model years, check your VIN directly at nhtsa.gov/recalls before assuming your car is clear, or call Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
