Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles

TORONTO – September 4, 2025 – Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Toyota bZ4X, Lexus RZ300e and RZ450e vehicles. Approximately 16,052 vehicles are involved in this recall in Canada.

The windshield defroster in the subject vehicles may not remove frost, ice, and/or fog from the windshield glass due to a software issue in an electrical control unit. This could reduce driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota and Lexus dealers will update the programming of the involved electrical control unit, free of charge. Also, for customer satisfaction, dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the electrical HVAC compressor, free of charge. 

Toyota will notify affected owners about this issue by early November 2025.

For the most up-to-date Safety Recall Information on Toyota and Lexus vehicles, customers should check their vehicle’s status by visiting Toyota.ca/recall or Lexus.ca/recall and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
