2023 LEXUS RX — Complaint #2172660
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA filed February 2, 2026
NHTSA complaint #2172660 (ODI reference 11715162) concerns a 2023 LEXUS RX and was filed on February 2, 2026. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 2, 2026. The report was geocoded to Kentucky based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: sensing system: camera, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same LEXUS RX cohort independently describe similar back over prevention: sensing system: camera failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2023 LEXUS RX shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I took my vehicle to Lexus of Louisville on 2/2/26 for Recall campaign number: NHTSA 25V744000 (Lexus internal 25LB06. My backup camera does not work at all but I was told my vin is not part of the recall even though my year, make and model is. Lexus charged $250 to diagnose the problem and the repair is $1311 for a new camera. The part is on backorder. I drive on average 25,000 miles per year. Not having a back up camera is a safety risk for myself and everyone around me as I am in and out of a minimum of 12 parking lots per day. My service rep, John said to diagnose the issue they replaced my camera with another one on the lot to confirm that was the issue. I have attached pictures of the problem. I do not believe this is a coincidence and hope Lexus will stand up and recognize the larger issue here.
