2023-2025 Lexus Recall 25V595: Panel Display Failure

Recall 25V595 covers 591,377 2023-2025 Lexus vehicles for instrument-panel software that hides speed, brake and tire-pressure warnings. Repair is free at franchised Lexus dealers.

Lexus is recalling 591,377 2023-2025 vehicles under recall 25V595, including Ls, RAV4 Prime, Highlander, and Tacoma models, because instrument panel software can fail at startup and leave out vehicle speed, brake system, and tire pressure warnings. Missing critical display information increases the risk of a crash or injury, and Lexus dealers will update the software free of charge.

What's wrong?

The combination meter is the instrument panel display in front of the driver. On these 2023-2025 Lexus vehicles, its 12.3-inch monitor shows vehicle speed, brake system warnings, tire pressure warnings, gauges, messages, and other telltale lights. It is the screen a driver relies on for basic driving information while the vehicle is running.

The problem starts in the meter software. Because of improper programming, the combination meter repeatedly writes unnecessary data to a memory device inside the unit. That extra writing wears the memory device earlier than intended. When the memory device fails, the monitor stays blank at ignition on and remains blank during the drive.

The main thing an owner notices is a blank instrument panel screen at startup. Toyota reported that the vast majority of telltales and indicator lights have redundant information on the center multimedia display, so check that screen too. If speed, brake, or tire pressure warnings are missing from the instrument panel, contact a Lexus dealer.

Who's affected?

The scope crosses both Lexus and Toyota nameplates across the 2023-2025 model years, all tied to the instrument panel.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

An instrument panel display that fails to show critical information can leave the driver without required status or warning details and increase the risk of a crash or injury. Use the center multimedia display for redundant indicators, and schedule recall service soon. Repair is free at any franchised Lexus dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2023-2025 Lexus vehicle is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Lexus dealer to schedule the free instrument-panel software update or inspection that fixes the missing speed, brake-system, and tire-pressure warning display.
  3. Bring the recall notice if Lexus has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V595 when you call.
  4. Tell the dealer whether the vehicle is a plug-in hybrid, since PHEV vehicles need an instrument-panel inspection before the repair path is chosen.
  5. Drive with extra attention to speed, brake warnings, and tire-pressure warnings until the repair is complete.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Lexus technician updates the instrument panel software over the air for vehicles that are not PHEV models. For PHEV vehicles, the technician inspects the instrument panel assembly, then replaces the assembly or updates the software as needed. Parts and labor are free under the recall. If you've already paid for a related instrument panel repair, the manufacturer's general reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring your repair paperwork to the service desk so the dealer can review it under that plan.
