Unfortunately, there is not a long term fix for this issue. Your 2017 Lexus RX 350 views your RockyMounts WestSlope 3 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Tilting - Wheel Mount, part # RKY10223, as an obstacle, especially when loaded with bikes. Your only solution is to disable the sensor while you are using the bike rack. You should still have use of the rear mounted camera, but you will not have use of the cars backup sensor while the bike rack is in use.
