Toyota recalls 161,268 Tundra and Tundra Hybrids over critical rear-view camera defects.
Automotive giant Toyota has issued a fresh safety recall for 161,268 vehicles in the United States after discovering a critical defect in their rear-view camera systems. This latest move targets specific models manufactured between 2024 and 2025, marking another significant safety challenge for the carmaker.
Key Highlights of the Recall:
- The Defect: According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a software glitch can cause the multimedia display to freeze or show a black screen while the vehicle is in reverse.
- Safety Risk: This malfunction blocks the driver’s view, significantly increasing the risk of collisions with pedestrians or objects and violating federal safety standards.
- Impacted Models: The recall specifically affects certain 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models.
- Previous History: This adds to a growing list of visibility issues for Toyota, following a massive recall of over 1 million units just last year for similar camera-related challenges.
- The Solution: Toyota has pledged to fix the problem free of charge through a software update at authorized dealers.
Action for Owners: Owners of these models are urged to check their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the official NHTSA website and schedule their repairs promptly to ensure safe driving and compliance with safety regulations.
