Lamborghini’s Urus has become one of the defining high-performance SUVs of the past decade, but a new recall in Japan puts attention on a less theatrical part of the car.
The issue concerns software in the driver-assistance control unit, which can cause the camera feed to drop out and leave the central display temporarily blank.
At a glance
- Lamborghini is recalling 2,146 Urus SUVs in Japan across multiple variants.
- A software fault can interrupt the Top View and blind-spot camera displays.
- Affected vehicles will receive a software update, with no hardware replacement required.
A camera issue in the Urus driver-assist system
The recall covers 2,146 Lamborghini Urus vehicles imported into Japan between September 2018 and August 2025.
Those dates refer to import timing rather than a specific model-year range, and the affected vehicles span multiple Urus variants.
The fault sits within the driver-assist control unit, where a software error can cause the camera image to cut out unexpectedly.
When it happens, the central screen can go blank and remove access to the Top View system and blind-spot camera views.
Why the blank display matters
On a vehicle as wide and powerful as the Urus, camera assistance isn’t just a convenience feature.
Top View and blind-spot camera displays help with low-speed manoeuvring, tight parking spaces and lane-change awareness, especially in dense urban environments.
The temporary loss of those views has been treated as a safety compliance concern because it reduces the driver’s available visibility at the moment the system is expected to assist.
There’s no indication that the fix requires changes to the cameras themselves or replacement of control modules.
How Lamborghini will address the recall
The remedy is a software update carried out through authorised service centres.
Lamborghini will contact owners directly through mail, phone and email, while service locations have been notified to perform the update on affected vehicles.
For owners, the practical impact should be relatively contained, since the repair does not involve hardware parts or a more invasive mechanical procedure.
