Lexus Passenger car: electrical compressor may fail, suspending HVAC heater operation

Country	European Union
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-09-19
Country of origin	Japan
Manufacturer	Lexus
Models affected	UX300e
Defect	The electrical compressor may fail, causing the HVAC system to enter a failsafe mode that suspends the heater operation of the system and affects defroster function. If the vehicle is operated in 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 injuries.
Remedy	Recall of the product from end users.
Recall number	SR/03307/25
