Toyota has issued a recall for approximately 655,000 Camry vehicles worldwide due to a display error that could deactivate crucial safety indicators. The affected cars, mainly Camry Hybrids from the model years 2025-2026, were predominantly sold in the U.S., with over 508,000 units impacted.
According to information released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these vehicles feature a 7-inch display combination meter that may go blank upon startup. This issue can lead to the malfunctioning of turn signals, hazard lights, seat belt reminders, and other warnings, posing an increased risk of accidents.
To address the problem, Toyota Motor North America, headquartered in Texas, a subsidiary of the Japanese automaker, will notify owners to bring their vehicles to authorized dealers for a complimentary software update. The company plans to commence mailing notifications to affected owners starting September 21 in the U.S., with the process expected to be completed by early October.
The recall, affecting markets in North America, the Middle East, Asia, and other regions, involves vehicles manufactured between December 2023 and July 2026 at production facilities in the U.S., Japan, and Thailand. Customers can check the NHTSA’s and Toyota’s online recall lookups for information on whether their vehicles are impacted or visit Toyota’s website for further details.
