Recall Issued for Nearly 400,000 Toyota Vehicles Sold Between 2022-2025
Toyota has announced a recall affecting nearly 400,000 vehicles, primarily 2022-2025 model year Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks, along with certain 2023-2025 Sequoia Hybrid models. The recall is due to a software defect in the 14-inch multimedia center display that can cause the rearview camera image to malfunction-showing a half green, full green, or fully black screen-potentially obscuring the view when the vehicle is reversing. This issue violates federal safety standards and increases the risk of collisions with pedestrians or objects behind the vehicle. Toyota will provide free software updates through its dealers to fix the problem.Owners of the affected trucks will be notified starting November 16. This recall follows another earlier this year involving Tundra trucks’ reverse lights malfunction. The company has faced scrutiny over safety inspection lapses in the past,prompting public apologies from Toyota’s chairman and commitments to improve safety processes.
Toyota has issued a recall impacting almost 400,000 Tundra trucks.
About 394,000 Toyota trucks are being recalled, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said, because of rearview camera malfunctions, according to Fox Business.
The recall covers certain Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles in 2022-2025 model years and certain Sequoia Hybrid vehicles from model years 2023-2025.
A software error led to the recall, the NHTSA said.

The agency said the software error means no image may display, violating a federal safety standard.
“The software in the 14-inch multimedia center display in these vehicles could cause the display to show a half green, full green, or full black screen,” Toyota said in a notice on its website.
“If this occurs while the vehicle is being reversed, the vehicle may not meet a federal safety standard, and there can be an increased risk of a crash with a person behind the vehicle,” the automaker said
Dealers will update the display software at no charge to owners.

The owners of affected trucks will be contacted beginning Nov. 16, according to Fox Business.
In May, Toyota recalled more than 443,000 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks due to a flaw that could make the reverse lights not work.
The NHTSA said the flaw meant that drivers might not be able to see behind the vehicle and that other cars might not know a vehicle was in reverse.
Last year, Toyota suffered a black eye after its chairman said cars had not gone through proper safety inspections before being sold, CNN reported.
At the time, Toyota Chairman Akio Toyoda apologized to customers and car enthusiasts. He bowed deeply during a public apology, according to the BBC.
“We neglected the certification process and mass produced our cars without first taking the proper precautionary steps,” he said then.
“These acts shake the very foundation of the verification system,” he continued, per the New York Times. “They should have never been committed. We will carry out concrete improvements.”
