Toyota () Lexus Es: Camera Replacement On Multiple Models

Recall Summary Toyota and Lexus is recalling approximately 5,786 vehicles from multiple models (Lexus ES, LS, NX, RX, RZ, and UX) sold in the United Kingdom due to a camera housing defect. The camera case may separate over time due to improper welding at the supplier, potentially allowing water to enter and damage the internal circuits, which would prevent the front and/or rear camera display from working. Dealers will inspect the camera and replace it if necessary.

Product
Vehicles: TOYOTA () LEXUS ES, TOYOTA () Lexus LS, TOYOTA () LEXUS NX, TOYOTA () LEXUS RX, TOYOTA () LEXUS RZ, TOYOTA () LEXUS UX. Units affected: 5,786
Reason
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.
