The 2023 Lexus ES has 2 recalls, both involving the Panoramic View Monitor system, where a software error can cause the rearview camera to freeze or go blank when the vehicle is in reverse, reducing rear visibility and raising the risk of a collision.
These recalls only affect vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor. When the camera image fails to appear, the driver loses the assisted rear view that would normally show pedestrians, cyclists, or obstacles behind the car while backing up.
