Toyota, Lexus Recall Over 1 Million Vehicles for Backup Camera Issues
Toyota and its luxury division Lexus are recalling over 1 million vehicles due to issues with backup cameras. This recall affects a combined total of 1,025,000 cars from Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru. Although the fix involves a software update, it requires a visit to the dealership, as opposed to an over-the-air remedy.
Toyota and Lexus Backup Camera Recall Details
The recall is necessary because the affected vehicles may have faulty backup cameras. These cameras can either fail to display the rear view or may freeze on a single frame. Backup cameras have been mandatory in the United States since 2018, so even minor issues can trigger a recall.
