Toyota recall overview:

Who: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling more than 1.02 million Toyota, Lexus and Subaru vehicles.
Why: A software error in the Panoramic View Monitor system may cause the rearview camera to freeze or display a blank screen.
Where: The recall is effective in the United States.

Toyota has issued a recall for more than 1.02 million vehicles due to a software glitch that affects the rearview camera system. This issue could potentially increase the risk of accidents by impairing the driver’s view when reversing.

The recall was announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on Oct. 30. It affects a wide range of models from the 2022 to 2026 model years, including the Lexus ES, GX, LC, LS, LX, NX, RX, TX and RZ, as well as the Subaru Solterra and several Toyota models such as the BZ4X, Camry Hybrid, Crown, Highlander, Land Cruiser, Mirai, Prius, Rav4, Sienna Hybrid and Venza Hybrid.

According to the NHTSA recall notice, a software error in the Panoramic View Monitor system can cause the rearview camera to malfunction, leading to a blank or frozen screen when the vehicle is in reverse. This error fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111.

“A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash,” the recall notice states.

Toyota to offer software update at no cost to vehicle owners

The recall notice states that owners will get two letters about the Toyota recall. The first will be mailed on Dec. 16, with the second coming when the fix is available.

Toyota has committed to resolving the issue by updating the parking-assist software at no cost to vehicle owners. This remedy will be available through authorized dealers, ensuring that affected vehicles comply with safety standards.

For further information, consumers can contact Toyota’s customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota has assigned the internal recall numbers 25TB13 and 25LB06, while Subaru’s recall number is WRE25.
