Toyota Canada is recalling nearly 33,000 vehicles for an increased risk of a crash due to rear visibility issues with some multimedia displays.
Toyota is recalling roughly 32,000 vehicles in Canada for issues with the rear-view display in some models that both the company and regulators say could increase the risk of a crash.
It comes after the company recalled 70,000 vehicles in September over screen display problems.
“Canadian regulations require the rearview image to display when the vehicle is reversing,” Transport Canada said in a statement.
Both the recall notice from Transport Canada and the statement from Toyota Canada say this problem could lead to an increased risk of a crash with a person behind the vehicle.
The recall affects some Toyota SUV and pickup truck models equipped with a 14-inch multimedia display, which the company says will need a free software update to fix.
According to a statement from the automaker, the software-related issues with the centre display in the affected vehicles could mean some users will at times see a distorted “half green, full green, or full black screen.”
Toyota adds that if this occurs while the vehicle is being reversed, the vehicle may not meet federal safety standards.
Models affected include the Toyota Sequoia, with model years of 2023-25, as well as the Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid from model years 2022-25.
The company said the incident is currently under investigation and information is limited, but it confirms that local authorities have been notified.
