Key Facts
Toyota said in a statement it was conducting a safety recall involving some 2024-2025 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles in the U.S., noting the multimedia display in affected vehicles may become stuck or display a black screen.
The rearview image may not display while the vehicle is in reverse, potentially violating federal safety standards and increasing the risk of a crash, Toyota said.
Customers with the affected trucks will be notified by late March, according to Toyota.
Vehicle owners may search National Highway Traffic Safety Administration filings to see whether their vehicle is affected, though federal data appeared to be unavailable as of Friday afternoon (Toyota did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Forbes).
Big Number
3.2 million. That’s how many vehicles Toyota recalled in 2025 across 15 recalls. That was the second-most in the U.S. behind Ford, which pulled a record-breaking 12.9 million cars across 153 recalls, the most notices ever issued in a single year, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data.
Key Background
Toyota last recalled its Tundra pickup trucks in November, pulling roughly 127,000 vehicles manufactured between 2022 and 2024. That notice covered an issue in which some vehicles may have leftover debris contaminating the engine’s main bearings, potentially damaging the engine and causing a loss of driving power. The automaker issued another recall in October covering 394,000 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles that may have a software issue with the multimedia display, causing the rearview image not to display when reversing. In May 2025, Toyota issued a recall for 443,000 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles for a reverse light failure.
