The 2024 Lexus RZ has two recalls, both affecting driver visibility: one that can leave the defroster and defogger inoperative during certain HVAC faults, and one where the rearview camera can freeze or go blank when reversing.
When the climate system develops an electrical fault, such as a compressor failure, the defroster and defogger may stop working, leaving the windshield and windows obscured in cold or humid conditions. Separately on the camera side, a software error in the Panoramic View Monitor can cause the rearview image to freeze or display nothing while backing up, reducing the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle.
