On my 2009 TL, it only lowers 1 mirror when in reverse.

I have a 2012 SH-Awd and it's the same thing. I don't believe both mirrors will tilt when you're backing up. You can only select either left or right.
The same question was asked on 3rd Gen and it's only one mirror.

Only 1 side mirror (either left or right) will be tilted down when the transmission is put into reverse, provided that the mirror switch is not in the center position.

I can confirm the third gen TL's only having one mirror point down in reverse.

This feature is described in the manual; there's really no need for any discussion on whether it's working properly. In 4G, only one mirror will tilt on reverse, and then only when the switch is set to the corresponding side.

OP, if you had both mirrors tilting, and now only one does, then congratulations; your car was broken, but now it's fixed.

On another note, IMHO, it would be a rare set of circumstances where having both tilt is a benefit. On a bigger vehicle, like an SUV, I could see the benefit, but not on our little whips.
