1 Million Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru Vehicles Recalled: Here’s Why
The recall affects 1,024,407 vehicles due to backup camera malfunctions that may cause blank or frozen rearview images, increasing accident risk, according to NHTSA.
- On Oct. 30, NHTSA announced a recall covering 1,025,000 Toyota, Lexus and Subaru vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor system, citing a rearview camera issue.
- A software flaw in the Panoramic View Monitor system caused backup cameras to show blank or frozen images when reversing, raising crash risk; Toyota discovered this in bench testing prior to the recall announcement.

- The recall affects over one million vehicles and requires Toyota service network dealer visits, creating a logistical challenge after halting sales of bZ4X, Lexus RZ, and Subaru Solterra EV models.
- Citing FMVSS rule 111, Toyota said owners should check the NHTSA recall database or USA TODAY recall database, search VINs, or call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline for next steps.
