Lexus service campaign 24LC03
Lexus filed this with NHTSA as a service campaign dated Oct 10, 2024, received Nov 6, 2024, about the electrical system — 6 documents under this number. It names 5 model years (2023–2024). A service campaign is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationThe Engine Control Computer software has a programing error which can cause the exhaust variable valve timing (VVT) locking pin to temporarily get stuck. When this happens, an engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) can appear on the dashboard as well as diagnostic trouble code (DTC), P05CE00 to be set.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Lexus 24LC03 a recall?
No. A service campaign is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 24LC03 repair free?
A service campaign is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 24LC03 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 5 model years: 2024 Lexus NX, 2023 Lexus NX, 2024 Lexus RX, 2023 Lexus RX, 2024 Lexus TX. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
