Recall 22V661 covers 83,725 2022 Lexus NX350, Toyota Tundra, and Lexus NX250 vehicles for an electronic-parking-brake defect. Repair is free at any franchised Lexus dealer.
Lexus is recalling 83,725 2022 NX350, NX250, and Tundra vehicles because a brake actuator control unit can enter failsafe mode and stop the electronic parking brake from engaging. If the parking brake will not engage while the vehicle is in park, the vehicle can roll away and raise crash risk; Lexus dealers will update the skid control ECU software free of charge.

What's wrong?
The brake actuator assembly in the 2022 NX350, Tundra, and NX250 controls part of the brake system, including the electronic parking brake. Its skid control ECU is the small computer inside the assembly. When the parking brake is applied, that computer checks electrical current and tells the parking brake actuator when to clamp and hold the vehicle.
In affected vehicles, the ECU can read a false overcurrent condition during its Motor Test Pulse self-check. Toyota traced the problem to an instantaneous voltage gap inside the ECU's ASIC, a specialized chip inside the brake computer, tied to resistor characteristics in the ECU noise filter. When the computer reads that false condition, it enters failsafe mode and prevents the electronic parking brake from engaging.
Owners have a warning sign before the parking brake fails to engage. The malfunction indicator lamp will illuminate, and the multi-information display will show: "Parking Brake Malfunction, Visit Your Dealer."

What's the safety risk?
An electronic parking brake that fails to engage while the vehicle is in park can allow a rollaway and increase crash risk.

Repair is free at any franchised Lexus dealer.
What should I do?

- Contact a franchised Lexus dealer to schedule the free Skid Control ECU reprogramming that fixes the electronic parking brake failsafe problem.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 22V661 when you call.
- Use the parking brake only after confirming it engages, and keep the vehicle on level ground until the software update is complete.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Lexus technician updates the Skid Control ECU software in the Brake Actuator Assembly so the electronic parking brake logic does not enter the false failsafe condition described in the recall. The recall repair is free, with the software update and labor covered. The manufacturer used its standard reimbursement plan on file, so documented out-of-pocket repairs tied to this condition are eligible for review. Bring repair invoices and payment records to the service desk.
