Nearly 3,000 Lexus models in Vietnam are being recalled to fix a parking‑assist software glitch. Check if your vehicle is affected and schedule service today.
Lexus Vietnam has issued a recall for 2,774 vehicles to update the software that supports the parking‑assist feature. The recall covers a wide range of models, with the Lexus RX being the most affected, accounting for 1,381 units produced between November 2022 and August 2025. The rugged Lexus LX follows, with 848 vehicles included in the programme.
What’s Wrong with the Parking‑Assist System?
All affected Lexus models are equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM), which provides a rear‑camera feed to aid drivers when reversing. A software defect can cause the rear‑camera image to freeze briefly while backing up, or to fail to appear after the next electronic lock activation. This temporary loss of visual feedback raises the risk of a rear‑end collision when the vehicle is in reverse.
How to Find Out If Your Lexus Is Part of the Recall
Owners can verify their vehicle’s status by visiting the official Toyota recall lookup page and entering the VIN. For most Lexus SUVs and MPVs, the VIN is stamped on the right‑hand front wheel well; for sedans, it is usually located beneath the front passenger seat or on a label inside the trunk.
What Happens During the Service Appointment?
Lexus dealerships will inspect the vehicle and, if the faulty software is detected, install the updated version. The entire process takes roughly 0.8–1 hour per car. Lexus Vietnam will cover all costs associated with the inspection and software update.
Why This Recall Matters
Updating the parking‑assist software is essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of Lexus’s larger models, such as the RX and LX, which heavily rely on camera assistance when maneuvering in tight spaces. Ensuring the system works flawlessly helps prevent unnecessary accidents and protects both drivers and pedestrians.
Next Steps for Owners
If your Lexus appears in the recall list, schedule an appointment with an authorised Lexus service centre as soon as possible. Prompt action guarantees that the parking‑assist feature remains fully operational and that you avoid any avoidable rear‑end incidents during everyday driving.
