Exclamation Recall on some 2018 Canadian Lexus - including NX300

Hi all, as an FYI for you, I'm in Canada and own a 2018 NX300 F-Sport Serie 3 and I just received a recall notice (see PDF attachment) for my car from Lexus stating :

The involved vehicles are equipped with an Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) system. Due to improper software programming in the ICS system, the ICS system may improperly activate when an involved vehicle enters certain types of carwash facilities and is placed into neutral. If the ICS system activates, the ICS system will exhibit warnings and the system may apply the brakes.

What will Lexus do?
Any authorized Lexus dealer will reprogram the ICS Electronic Control Unit at no cost to the Guest.


Vehicles recalled are :
Certain 2018 - LS 500 and LS 500h
Certain 2017 - 2018 - RX 350
Certain 2017 - 2018 - RX 450h
Certain 2018 - RX350L
Certain 2018 - RX450L
Certain 2018 - NX300 and NX300h

Absolutely, I will have it done at the 16 000 km maintenance, I'm at 12 000 km - the most important thing is to know about it for someone who use automatic car wash, which is not my case
