Lexus Ireland is conducting a voluntary recall of specific R2 model vehicles due to a safety concern related to the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. The issue arises from the programming of the HVAC control software, which can cause the system to enter a failsafe mode under certain conditions. This mode may suspend heater operation and impair the defrosting function, especially in low temperatures.
As a result, drivers may experience reduced defrosting performance, which can lead to frost, ice, or fog remaining on the windshield. This situation poses a risk by potentially decreasing visibility while driving, particularly in adverse weather conditions. The recall affects 26 vehicles in the Republic of Ireland that were manufactured between 04 October 2024 and 31 July 2025.
Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted by Lexus Ireland. They can also check if their vehicle is included in the recall through the vehicle checker available on the Lexus Ireland website. Additionally, vehicle owners are encouraged to book an appointment with their nearest Lexus Dealer or Authorized Repairer for necessary inspections and repairs.
