Official summary

Some 2013 model year ES 300h/350 and RX 350/450h vehicles equipped with Lexus Display Audio (non-navigation) may experience a transition delay on the display screen when shifting the vehicle from ?R? to ?D? and while an object is being detected in the corner sensor. If this condition exists, replacement of the audio head unit is necessary to address this condition.

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.
