Toyota announces recall of certain vehicles due to crash risk: full list of affected models

On October 1, Toyota announced a compliance recall involving around 394,000 vehicles in the United States. The action affects certain Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models from 2022 to 2025, as well as specific Sequoia vehicles from 2023 to 2025.

The recall is tied to faults in the 14-inch multimedia display software, which may cause the screen to show a partially green, fully green or completely black image. “If this occurs while reversing, the vehicle may not meet federal safety standards and could increase the risk of colliding with a person behind it,” the company said in a statement.

Toyota dealers will update the multimedia screen software free of charge. Customers affected by the issue will be notified by the end of November 2025.

Recall over potential accident risk

On the same day, Toyota also announced a safety recall covering about 6,000 Tacoma 4WD trucks from the 2025 model year.

According to the company, a component in the front drive shaft joint may not have been made from the correct material, potentially causing it to deform or break. If that happens, the driver may lose the ability to turn the vehicle as intended. For permanent 4x4 models, a broken component could also allow the vehicle to roll even when in “Park” without the electronic parking brake applied – increasing the risk of a crash.

Toyota dealers will replace one or both affected assemblies at no cost, and customers are expected to be notified by late November 2025.

Recall over injury risk

On October 7, Toyota announced another safety recall, this time affecting about 55,000 Sienna minivans from the 2025 model year. The second-row seats, which are mounted on sliding rails, may have been improperly welded. “If these seats are occupied during certain high-speed collisions, they could lose structural integrity, increasing the risk of injury,” the company said.

Dealers will replace the rails with properly welded parts free of charge, and notifications will be sent to customers in early December 2025.

How to check if your Toyota is affected

Even if you own one of the models listed above, your specific vehicle might not be included in the recalls. To verify whether it is affected, visit Toyota’s official website or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) portal. You’ll need to enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.

The VIN – a 17-character code located on the dashboard near the bottom of the windshield on the driver’s side – will also be necessary when contacting your dealer to schedule a repair. If your car is listed in one of the recall campaigns, contact your local Toyota dealership to arrange the free fix.
