Summary:
      Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing "Toyota" is recalling certain 2023 Mirai, Lexus LS500, LS500H, 2023-2024 Lexus ES250, ES300H, ES350, 2024 Lexus LC500, and LC500H vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor "PVM" system. Due to incorrect programming of the parking-assist electronic control unit "ECU" software, the rearview camera image may not immediately display within a couple of seconds after the shifter is placed into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence:
      A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy:
      Dealers will update the parking assist ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed April 7, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TA01 and 24LA01.
