Toyota recalled nearly 400,000 pickups and SUVs over a snag with a perennial recall culprit.
The Japanese automaker pinpointed certain 2023 to 2025 Sequoia hybrids and 2022 to 2025 Tundras and Tundra hybrids to update their rearview camera software. The units’ cameras may fail to display when they’re in reverse, increasing risk of backup crashes.
Rearview cameras are a frequent subject of automotive recalls. In the second quarter, for instance, backup-prevention systems led all causes by volume in the U.S. at 2.6 million recalled units, according to Sedgwick data.
Not all of the recalled Toyota units were sold in the U.S., though the company didn’t indicate the percentage that are stateside.
The automaker blames the flaw on a software error that originated with a multimedia display supplier, it said in documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Toyota dealers will update the multimedia display software. The automaker is scheduled to mail recall notices to owners on Nov. 16.
