The 2023 Lexus LS has 2 recalls, both involving the Panoramic View Monitor system, where a software error can cause the rearview camera to freeze or go blank while the vehicle is in reverse, reducing visibility behind the car and raising the risk of a collision.
Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, and the camera display problem remains open across both recall campaigns. Owners with the Panoramic View Monitor should confirm with a Lexus dealer whether their vehicle is covered and whether a software update has been applied.

Wait, I need to re-read the constraints. "End on the synthesis paragraph. Do not add a closing instruction, call-to-action, or summary observation." Let me also check the grouping rules - these two recalls describe the same underlying defect, so I should treat them as one issue. With only one issue, there's no synthesis paragraph content beyond what's in the lead. Let me restructure.
The 2023 Lexus LS has 2 recalls, both addressing the same defect: a software error in the Panoramic View Monitor can cause the rearview camera to freeze or show a blank screen while backing up, reducing the driver's view and raising the risk of a collision.
Both filings cover the same camera display problem, where the screen fails to update or goes dark when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. The fix involves a software update to the monitor system.
