Service bulletin Smart Key Update
A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NHTSA's summary
DD: Lexus has been temporarily limiting Smart Keys to one (1) on select models since November 2022 due to global semi-conductor shortages impacting certain microchips. Affected vehicles have been delivered with only one Smart Key and a second mechanical key. This adjustment is temporary, and some models have begun to return to production with two (2) Smart Keys. Other models currently remain in production with only one (1) Smart Key.: Lexus is preparing a Second Key Delivery Program to provide guests with a second key as the supply of semiconductors improves this year. We expect this Delivery Program to launch in phases beginning in June 2023.
