Multiple Lexus models recalled

Lexus is recalling close to 2000 vehicles across three model lines due to a potential fault with their instrument cluster.

“The subject vehicles have a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel that shows various information (warning and indicator lights, vehicle gauges, messages, etc.),” the company says in its recall notice.

“There is a possibility that the display can be blank when the vehicle starts and will remain in this state.

“Due to improper programming of the combination meter, unnecessary data is repeatedly written to a memory device in the combination meter when the combination meter operates, causing the memory device to deteriorate earlier than intended.

“If this occurs, the monitor will not be displayed at ignition on and will remain in this state. Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions.

“Inability to determine the speed of the vehicle could increase the risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”

• The recall affects examples of the LBX small SUV, LM people mover, and LS limousine, produced between 2023 and 2025
• A total of 1987 vehicles are affected
• The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) list is attached here
• Lexus’ recall notice is attached here, including a detailed VIN list, and the government recall notice is here

If you own an affected vehicle, you’ll need to schedule an appointment with an authorised Lexus Australia dealership to have the fix carried out, free of charge.

Lexus dealers will update the programming of the instrument cluster software, which may take between one and 2.5 hours to complete.

Depending on the dealer’s work schedule, owners may need to make their vehicles available for a longer period of time.

If you have any further questions, you can contact an authorised Lexus dealer in the first instance, or the Lexus Customer Assistance Centre on 1800 023 009 on weekdays between 8:00am and 6:00pm.
