Toyota recalls more than 508,000 Camry Hybrids in the US over display defect
Fox Business • • business
Key Points:
- Toyota is recalling approximately 655,000 Camry vehicles worldwide due to a display error that may deactivate safety indicators like turn signals and hazard lights, affecting models produced between December 2023 and July 2026.
- The recall primarily impacts 508,354 Camry Hybrid models from 2025-2026 in the U.S., specifically the LE, SE, and Nightshade trims equipped with a 7-inch display combination meter; XLE and XSE trims with larger displays are not affected.
- The defect can cause the 7-inch display to be blank at startup, potentially disabling turn signals, hazard lights, and warning buzzers such as seat belt reminders, increasing the risk of crashes by impairing driver communication and safety alerts.
- Toyota will notify affected vehicle owners in the U.S. starting September 21, offering a free software update at dealerships to fix the issue, with all notifications expected to be sent by early October.
- The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) emphasizes that the display malfunction poses a heightened risk of injury or accidents due to the lack of critical safety information and signals.
