Toyota has issued a nationwide recall that affects almost 600,000 vehicles in the US. The company says a dashboard defect could increase the risk of accidents.

The recall affects the Venza, Crown, and Crown Signia models. The RAV4, GR Corolla, 4Runner, and Camry are part of the recall. So are certain units of Grand Highlander, Tacoma, and Highlander. Certain Lexus LS, RX, and TX models are also included in the recall.

The Problem with the Dashboard Display

The 12.3-inch digital instrument display is the focus of Toyota’s most recent recall. At startup, it might stay blank. When this happens, drivers cannot see key malfunction indicators. Toyota warns that this can lead to drivers operating vehicles with critical issues. This makes it more likely that someone will be hurt or crash.

It’s risky for an instrument panel to not provide alerts when a car is moving. The driver might not know about problems that need to be fixed right away. Toyota emphasizes that this malfunction poses a serious safety hazard. Especially if the driver continues operating the vehicle without recognizing a fault.

Remedy and Next Steps for the Owner

Toyota and Lexus dealers will inspect and update the programming. They will also replace faulty parts in affected vehicles. They’re offering this at no cost to owners. This corrective action aims at making sure all digital panels display system warnings. .

What Owners Can Do

Owners of Toyota or Lexus models should stay alert for notification letters. The car manufacturer will begin notifying affected owners by mid-November 2025.

 Owners should schedule a service appointment once they receive their letters. Owners with questions can call Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331. They can ask for more details about the recall and repair process.
