Toyota Motor Corporation has announced a recall of 1.02 million vehicles in the US due to a software defect that may cause the rear-view camera display to freeze or go blank, raising safety concerns.
The recall includes several Toyota and Lexus models built between 2022 and 2026, such as the Camry, Highlander, RAV4, Prius, RX, TX, NX, LX, GX, and LS. Some Subaru Solterra units equipped with Toyota’s Panoramic View Monitor system are also affected.
Toyota said the problem lies in the parking assist electronic control unit, which can fail to transmit the rear camera image when the car is in reverse, an issue that violates US safety regulations.
The automaker will notify owners by December and update the camera software at dealerships free of charge. No crashes or injuries have been reported so far.
This marks Toyota’s second major recall in recent months involving rear-camera malfunctions, following a similar action for nearly 394,000 vehicles in October. The company said it is working to enhance quality control and ensure compliance with federal safety standards.
