Lexus Ireland recalls certain passenger model vehicles
16 September 2025
Lexus Ireland is carrying out a voluntary recall of certain R2 model vehicles.
A safety issue has been identified whereby vehicles are equipped with Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems that, among other things, control the windshield defroster function. Due to the programming of the HVAC control ECU software, under certain conditions, such as a specific failure mode of the electrical compressor, the HVAC system will enter a failsafe mode that suspends the heater operation of the system and affects defroster function. In some cases, when the vehicle is operated in certain low temperatures, the defrosting performance reduces and may not remove frost, ice and/or fog from the windshield glass. This can reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions.
There are 26 affected vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were produced between 04 October 2024 to 31 July 2025.
