The fault could cause the vehicles' high beams to malfunction, according to the recall notice.
Lexus Australia has recalled 1277 examples of its 2023 Lexus NX SUV, spanning NX350 F Sport, NX350h F Sport, NX350h Sports Luxury, and NX450h+ F Sport models, citing a potential fault with the cars' high beam lights.
The affected vehicles are stamped 2023 models but may have been sold at a later date.
The recall notice, lodged with the Department of Infrastructure, says: “Due to a programming issue, the Adaptive High Beam System (AHS) LED units (high beam) and AHS ECUs (Electronic Control Unit) may incorrectly detect the signals for switching from low beam to high beam.
“If this occurs, a warning message will display and render the high beam inoperative. A non-operational high beam may increase the risk of an accident, resulting in injury to occupants of the vehicle and other road users.
“Vehicles are not compliant with ADR 13/00 – Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles.”

Lexus Australia said affected owners will be contacted in writing advising them to schedule an appointment at their preferred authorised dealership to have the fault fixed, free of charge.
