BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2025 Lexus NX350, NX250, 2023-2026 RX350, and 2024-2026 TX350 vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display when the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the rearview camera software or replace the rearview camera, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 15, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26LB02 and 26LA02.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 144,200 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 94% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2022 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Lexus vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 2 times before this, most recently in October 2025 as 25V744000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 10 of the 11 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 312 complaints with NHTSA, 208 of them before this campaign was filed. 9 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in September 2022, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V437000 (power train), 26V179000 (equipment), 25V744000 (back over prevention), 25V595000 (electrical system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on March 18, 2026 as campaign 26V162000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
