2024 LEXUS LC Complaints and Recall Information
The 2024 LEXUS LC has 2 complaints and 7 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues related to door handle and actuator malfunctions caused by water intrusion. Complaints indicate these problems prevent opening the doors from both inside and outside, raising safety concerns in emergency situations.
Common Issues- Door handle failure. Water gets inside door mechanisms causing mechanical and electronic components to fail, preventing doors from opening.
There are 7 recalls affecting multiple systems, mainly involving electronic controls and safety features. These recalls address defects that impact rearview camera functionality, among other systems.
Recalls- Parking assist system. NHTSA recall 24V124000 affects 18,616 vehicles including 2024 LC500 models. Incorrect programming in the parking-assist ECU prevents the rearview camera image from displaying immediately when shifting into reverse. This reduces rear visibility and increases crash risk. Dealers will update the ECU software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024.
Owners dealing with repeated door actuator failures or unresolved recall repairs may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Those facing safety system defects should consider consulting with a legal professional familiar with consumer protection laws.

BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
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."
Risk: A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

LEXUS KNOWS ABOUT THIS ONGOING VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND SUPPOSEDLY IS LOOKING INTO IT. THE REASON I AM NOTIFYING YOU IS GOD FORBID A DRIVER GETS INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT FIRST RESPONDERS MAY NOT BE ABLE TO EXTRICATE THE OCCUPANTS EASILY VIA THE DOORS. THE DOOR/ACTUATORS FAIL AND OWNERS REPORT THAT THEY CANNOT OPEN THEIR DOORS AT ALL WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR KEY FOBS FROM THE OUTSIDE. FORTUNATELY I HAVE A 2024 COUPE AND THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED TO ME AS OF YET BUT I DO EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN EVENTUALLY BECAUSE I HAVE MULTIPLE INTERACTIONS WITH MANY LC500 OWNERS AND THIS IS REPORTED CONSTANTLY. I DO FEEL THAT THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND AS A FEDERAL AGENCY I ASK YOU TO PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS TO SEE IF LEXUS CAN TAKE STEPS TO MITIGATE THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I WILL say that other than this isolated problem Lexus does in fact manufacture an excellent vehicle and I am very happy with mine.
