Does a recall affect your Lexus RZ?

Not every Lexus RZ is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Camera Replacement on Multiple Models

Launched 12 August 2024 DVSA recall R/2024/252 Manufacturer ref. ZGG49 (24SD-065)

Defect
Due to insufficient laser welding of the camera case at the supplier during a specific production period there is a possibility that the camera case may separate when exposed to external stress over time allowing water to leak into the camera. If this occurs the circuit inside the camera can short leading to an inability to display an image of the area in front of and/or behind the vehicle.
Remedy
Inspect camera and replace if necessary.

Due to the software programming for the DCM memory capacity there is a possibility that the DCM may not complete the shutdown process within a specific period of time when the ignition is turned off causing the DCM to not restart at the next ignition cycle and making the e-Call function unavailable.

Launched 12 October 2023 DVSA recall R/2023/280 Manufacturer ref. YGG63 (23SD-101)

Defect
On affected vehicles there is a possibility that the DCM may not complete the shutdown process within a specific period of time when the ignition is turned off causing the DCM to not restart at the next ignition cycle and making the e-Call function unavailable. As a result the vehicles do not comply with relevant regulations.
Remedy
The software of the DCM (Data Communication Module) will be updated via an Over the Air (OTA) wireless update.

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Lexus RZ. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
