Toyota is recalling about 394,000 vehicles in the United States due to a software issue that can prevent rearview cameras from displaying properly when backing up. The problem affects 2022-2025 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks, as well as 2023-2025 Sequoia Hybrid SUVs equipped with the 14-inch multimedia display.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that a software error can cause the display screen to turn green or black, leaving drivers unable to see behind them when in reverse. This malfunction violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111, “Rear Visibility,” and increases the risk of crashes.
“The software in the 14-inch multimedia center display in these vehicles could cause the display to show a half green, full green, or full black screen,” Toyota stated in its official announcement. This visibility issue is particularly dangerous when backing up, as drivers might not see people, objects, or other vehicles behind them.

The recall campaign numbers are 25TB10 and 25TA10, with non-hybrid Tundra models making up more than half of the affected vehicles. Toyota dealers will update the multimedia display software at no cost to vehicle owners. Notification letters are expected to reach owners by November 16, 2025.
This isn’t Toyota’s first recall related to rear visibility this year. In May 2025, the company recalled over 443,000 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks for a separate issue involving reverse lights that could fail. That problem limited driver rear visibility during low ambient light conditions and failed to alert others that the trucks were backing up.
Alongside the rearview camera recall, Toyota has also issued a separate, smaller recall for approximately 6,000 2025 Tacoma four-wheel-drive trucks due to potentially faulty front driveshaft joints. These joints could deform or break, affecting the vehicle’s turning ability or causing unexpected movement if the parking brake isn’t engaged.
Vehicle owners can check if their Toyota is included in either recall by visiting Toyota.com/recall or the NHTSA website at nhtsa.gov/recalls and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). For additional information, owners can contact Toyota’s customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
Safety experts recommend that all drivers, even those with working backup cameras, use multiple methods to check for obstacles when reversing. This includes checking mirrors and physically turning to look behind the vehicle before and during backing up.
Backup camera failures have become a common issue across the auto industry. According to recent data, failures in back-over prevention systems were the leading cause of recalls in the second quarter of 2025, affecting more than 2.5 million vehicles.
Despite these recalls, Toyota continues to rank high in reliability ratings compared to other automakers. The company maintains its position as one of the longest-lasting car brands, with the current recalls representing standard quality control measures that all manufacturers occasionally face.
The recall is expected to begin in late November, giving Toyota time to prepare dealerships with the necessary software updates to fix the affected vehicles.
