– A recall Toyota windshields affects around 78,000 vehicles that are equipped with defrosters that cannot thaw anything.
The recall for the windshield cladding includes Toyota BZ4X, Lexus RZ300E and RZ450E vehicles, but Toyota has not announced which model years are recalled.
According to Toyota:
“The windshield cladding in the subject vehicles is not allowed to remove frost, ice and/or fog from the windshield glass due to a software problem in an electric control unit. This can reduce the visibility of the driver and increase the risk of a crash.”
About 16,000 of the Toyota and Lexus vehicles are recalled in Canada.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has not released any information about the Toyota Defrester recall, but the Automaker says that owners will be contacted in November 2025.
Toyota and Lexus dealers will update the programming of the electrical control units, and it is possible that the electric HVAC (heating, ventilation, air conditioning) compressors will be replaced.
With questions about the recall of the windshield cladding, Toyota BZ4x owners have to call 800-331-4331 and owners of Lexus RZ300E and RZ450E have to call 800-255-3987.
