Official summary

TSB: Lexus models equipped with Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Navigation require a Special Service Tool and follow a unique process for updating the map, points of interest, and system software. Instead of individual DVDs installed into the vehicle, ALL map data is uploaded directly to the HDD system.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
