4 recalls across 4 model years
The Lexus RZ has 4 recalls covering 2023 through 2026 model years, with the most serious affecting 2026 vehicles where a fault in the high-voltage battery control unit can cut drive power without warning, raising the risk of a crash.
The remaining three recalls all involve visibility. On 2023-2025 models, certain HVAC faults, including electrical compressor failure, can disable the defroster and defogger, leaving the windshield and windows unable to clear in cold or humid conditions. A separate software issue affects the rearview camera on 2023-2025 vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor system, where the camera can freeze or show a blank screen when shifted into reverse, removing the view of what is directly behind the vehicle. On 2023 models specifically, a software problem can push the HVAC system into a failsafe mode that shuts down the heater and reduces defroster effectiveness, and the instrument cluster may display "EV System Malfunction" or "Drive Start Control Malfunction" messages when this occurs.
