What the bulletin says
Source: NHTSA's summary of the manufacturer's communicationTSB: Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) store electricity received via an external power source in the BEV traction battery. When the BEV is not used for a period of 30 days or more, the traction battery self-discharges, thus reducing vehicle travel range. To prevent the BEV traction battery from fully discharging it is necessary to maintain the charge level of the BEV traction battery.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 1 model year this bulletin names have filed 5 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 4 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
I am reporting a safety concern involving a 2024 Lexus RZ300e related to battery range performance and charging requirements in cold weather. In real-world winter conditions in Massachusetts, the vehicle experiences severe range loss, requiring excessive and repeated public charging to remain operable.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Lexus LSB006223 a recall?
No. A service bulletin 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 LSB006223 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Toyota warranty extension on file lists the ones Toyota has filed.
Which vehicles does LSB006223 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2024 Lexus RZ. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
