Recall notice on vehicles with the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system
A major recall announced on November 5, 2025 (originating from an October 30, 2025 NHTSA report) for over 1 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles, including models with the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system, is about a potential rearview camera defect. Recall Details
For information on whether a specific vehicle is affected, owners can visit the Lexus recall website (Lexus.com/recall) or the NHTSA website (nhtsa.gov/recalls) and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Issue: A software error in the PVM system can cause the rearview camera image to freeze or display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. This reduces the driver's visibility and increases the risk of a crash, violating federal safety requirements.
- Affected Vehicles: The recall impacts certain 2022-2026 model year Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru vehicles equipped with the PVM system. Affected Lexus models include the RX, TX, LS, GX, NX, and LX.
- Remedy: Dealers will perform a software update on the parking assist electronic control unit (ECU) at no cost to owners.
- Owner Notification: Owners are expected to receive a notification letter by mail in December 2025.

So my RX350h Luxury is also equipped with a digital rear view mirror AND the standard Lexus Cross Traffic / Back Up Braking system.
The one dislike I have of my car is that the back up safety system is so sensitive that it occasionally slams on the brakes, when reversing, when not needed. For example in a grocery store parking lot, while backing, and a person, across the way and behind me, exits their car but is still between the car next to them, the system still sees that as a danger and slams on the brake.
I believe that system is independent of the back-up camera system, so as long as you are backing at a reasonably slow rate there should be NO PROBLEM if the camera view glitches?????

Never have been a fan of the Panoramic View Monitor system. It takes way too long to do its fly around before it displays the full panoramic view. Then you can't manipulate much either.

I have absolutely zero delay when I push the pano view button when I pull into or out of a parking spot, garage, etc.
Read the recall again. It’s for PVM and they all have a delay as it does the vehicle fly around first.
I brought our RX450h in for the 35k service today and the system did not flag the recall or service campaign for the rear motor connector. I had to show the service advisor my app, that showed both so he then added them on.

whatever you do - do not add a bike rack on the hitch. Fina;y gave up and only put the rack on when I need to. Almost impossible to get out of driveway without alarms when only the rack was installed. Adding a bike increased the automatic break slam on's. Whomever designed this at Lexus should just quit. There's a difference between alerts and false positives
