This page covers 3 recalls and 10 owner complaints for the 2023 Lexus Rz.
Complaints for the 2023 Lexus RZ are spread thin across a small number of reports, with no single system dominating by volume. Individual owners describe a range of issues: an HVAC failure that left the cabin without heat for an extended period, a suspension failure at low speed that reportedly caused wheel separation and loss of steering, a sudden rear tire blowout at highway speeds, a daytime running light failing at relatively low mileage, and a third-party home charger becoming non-functional after the charging network provider discontinued support. Because these are isolated reports rather than a recurring pattern across multiple complaints, none of them represents a confirmed trend for this model year, each sits on its own without corroboration from other owners in this dataset.

By System
The 2023 Lexus RZ has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the HVAC system, which can enter a failsafe mode and disable the heater and windshield defroster, reducing visibility in cold or humid conditions.
A separate but related recall covers a similar defroster and defogger failure that can occur during certain electrical faults, such as a compressor failure, again leaving the driver with a fogged or iced windshield. On the visibility side, vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor system have a software error that can cause the rearview camera to freeze or show a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse, removing the driver's view of what is directly behind the vehicle.
