Toyota is recalling nearly 394,000 vehicles in the United States due to a rearview camera issue that poses a safety risk. The recall affects certain 2022-2025 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models, as well as 2023-2025 Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a software error may cause the rearview camera display to fail, reducing drivers' ability to see behind them when reversing.
The issue stems from a software bug in the 14-inch center display, which can cause the screen to go "half green, full green, or full black," making the camera image unreadable. This defect means the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, "Rear Visibility." As a result, the risk of a crash increases.
Toyota plans to address the problem with a free software update available at dealerships. Owners will receive notification letters by late November 2025, and they are encouraged to schedule the update as soon as possible. Fox Business reports that the recall notification will begin on November 16.
In addition to the rearview camera recall, Toyota is examining approximately 6,000 2025 Tacoma 4WD trucks for potentially faulty front driveshaft joints. These joints could deform or break, impairing the vehicle's turning ability or causing it to move unexpectedly if the parking brake is off.
Owners can confirm if their vehicle is affected by checking Toyota's or NHTSA's recall lookup tools. For more information, they may also contact Toyota customer service.
