Toyota issued two recalls in one day, with one for faulty backup cameras and another for bad driveshafts.
-
Approximately 394,000 vehicles are involved in the backup camera recall, and 6,000 in the driveshaft recall.
-
The recalls affect 2022-2025 Tundra, 2023-2025 Sequoia, and 2025 Tacoma vehicles.
The month is starting off poorly for Toyota after the automaker announced two separate recalls in a single day this week, both of which may increase the risk of a crash. In total, the two recalls affect approximately 400,000 Tundra, Sequoia, and Tacoma vehicles from the 2022-2025 model years. Fortunately, the bigger recall can be resolved with a software update, but the smaller, more serious recall requires mechanical attention. Neither recall is yet live on the NHTSA’s website, and Toyota hasn’t issued recall numbers of its own in its announcements, but the remedies are only coming next month, so Toyota seems to be getting a head start on putting the warnings out there.
Displays Going Wonky In Tundras And Sequoias

The first and largest recall is for 2022-2025 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid pickups, along with 2023-2025 Sequoia vehicles whose 14-inch infotainment displays “may show a half green, full green, or full black screen.” The obvious concern here is that if this happens while reversing, the driver may be unable to see obstacles behind the vehicle and could crash into something or someone. Toyota will resolve the issue with a software update, and affected customers can expect to be notified by late November 2025. In the meantime, mirrors will have to suffice.
Driveshafts Could Come Apart In The Tacoma
The second recall involves roughly 6,000 2025 Tacoma four-wheel-drive vehicles. According to Toyota’s statement, “a part used in the front driveshaft joints in the subject vehicles may not have been manufactured with the correct material and can deform or break while driving.” This could prevent the vehicle from completing a turn as intended, but it also carries risk when the vehicle is stationary – if the part breaks and the electronic parking brake isn’t applied, the vehicle may move, potentially causing a crash. The fix for this issue is for dealers to inspect the serial numbers on the potentially affected vehicles and replace one or both if they are from the affected production period. Again, this won’t cost the customer anything, but again, Toyota expects to notify affected customers by late next month.
