Toyota has announced a massive recall of more than one million vehicles due to a malfunction in the rearview camera system, which may prevent the display from showing the rear view while reversing, Carscoops reports. The recall affects Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru models, including the Camry, Crown, Land Cruiser, RX, TX, LC, and the Solterra electric crossover.<\/p>\n
This is the second major recall in less than a month \u2014 just four weeks ago, Toyota recalled 394,000 vehicles for a similar issue. The earlier campaign involved Tundra, Tacoma, and Sequoia models equipped with Panasonic components. This time, the issue concerns a different supplier, Denso, and a wider range of models and systems.<\/p>\n
According to Toyota, in some vehicles the rear camera image may fail to appear if the driver shifts into reverse shortly after starting the engine, or the image may freeze on the screen, giving the false impression that the area behind the vehicle is clear. This situation is not only dangerous but also violates U.S. federal safety regulations, which have required functional rearview cameras since 2018.<\/p>\n
The issue does not require hardware replacement. Dealers will update the software of the Parking Assist ECU, which controls the Panoramic View Monitor system. However, the fix cannot be applied remotely \u2014 all 1,024,407 affected vehicles must be brought to service centers.<\/p>\n
Subaru Solterra owners will receive the update at Subaru service centers, while Toyota and Lexus owners will be contacted by their respective brand dealerships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":150539,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-150538","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/150538","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150538"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=150538"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=150538"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=150538"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
