Rearview camera issue impacting display image, increasing risk of a crash
Toyota is recalling 32,733 vehicles in Canada due to a rearview camera defect that increases the risk of a crash, Transport Canada said in a notice last week.
A problem with the rearview camera might cause the image not to display correctly or at all, and Canadian regulations require the image to display when a car is in reverse, according to the notice.
“A rearview camera image that doesn’t display correctly could reduce a driver’s ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash,” the notice said.
The recall includes all Sequoia models from 2023 to 2025 and all Tundra models (including hybrids) from 2022 to 2025. The recall only impacts vehicles with a 14-inch multimedia display.
The automaker will notify vehicle owners in writing if their car is impacted, but drivers can also check Toyota’s recall database to see if their vehicle is part of the recall.
Vehicle owners with a recalled model can take their car to a Toyota dealership to update its multimedia display software.
