Toyota is recalling around 655,000 Toyota Camry vehicles worldwide due to a display error that could deactivate crucial safety indicators. This issue affects more than 508,000 model year 2025-2026 Toyota Camry Hybrids in the United States alone.
The Toyota recall was officially announced on Aug. 6 following documentation from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The affected vehicles are equipped with a 7-inch display combination meter that can become blank upon startup, potentially disabling turn signals, hazard lights and other safety warnings, such as seat belt reminders and key left in ignition buzzers.
According to the NHTSA, these failures increase the risk of crashes as they impair the driver’s ability to communicate intentions to other road users.
Toyota to update display panel software at no cost to consumers
Toyota North America is committed to notifying all known owners of the affected vehicles with notification letters scheduled to be mailed starting Sept. 21, with completion expected by early October.
This update will be available at certified Toyota dealerships, ensuring that the display functions correctly and all safety indicators are operational.
“Dealers will update the display software, free of charge,” the recall notice says.
