The recall affects certain 2023–2024 Lexus RZ 450e vehicles. The polished hood latch striker can crack and detach, allowing the hood to fly open while driving, which may block the windshield and increase crash risk. Owners may also notice hood misalignment or rattling before failure. The remedy is free of charge at a dealership, replacing the striker and adding a reinforcement bracket.
