Toyota to Recall 25 Lexus LX600 Vehicles Due to Camera Defects in US

TapTechNews on June 28th, it was learned from the State Administration for Market Regulation that Hainan Toyota Mobility Co., Ltd., in accordance with the Requirements of the Regulation on the Administration of Recalls of Defective Automobile Products and the Implementing Measures for the Regulation on the Administration of Recalls of Defective Automobile Products, filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation. It decided to recall some imported Lexus LX600 vehicles produced from February 14th, 2023 to August 28th, 2023, totaling 25 vehicles, starting from July 12th, 2024.

For some vehicles within the scope of this recall, the welding at the joint of the front and rear cameras of the panoramic monitoring system or the rear camera housing of the reversing image system is poor, resulting in insufficient water resistance. Rainwater and other substances invade the inside of the cameras, causing circuit corrosion and poor conduction, resulting in the inability to display the images of the front and rear cameras, increasing the risk of vehicle collision, presenting potential safety hazards.

Hainan Toyota Mobility Co., Ltd. will inspect the manufacturing numbers of the front and rear cameras for the vehicles within the recall range. If they belong to the defective batch, the cameras will be replaced free of charge to eliminate potential safety hazards.
