Toyota is recalling more than 161,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because of a software bug that could prevent the rearview camera image from being displayed when the vehicle is put into reverse, federal safety regulators said.
The recall affects certain 2024 and 2025 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models equipped with the automaker’s panoramic view monitor (PVM) system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in a notice issued Friday.
“A rearview camera image that is not displayed reduces the driver’s visibility behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash,” NHTSA said.

Of the 161,268 vehicles involved in the recall, regulators estimate that 100% contain the defect.
Affected models include approximately 61,501 Tundra Hybrid trucks from the 2024-2025 model years built between August 17, 2023 and June 17, 2025.

Toyota first became aware of the problem in March 2025 after receiving a field report that the wrong camera image appeared while the vehicle was in reverse. Additional reports surfaced in April and May, although engineers were initially unable to replicate the problem, NHTSA said.
The defect was eventually reproduced during testing in July 2025.
Toyota dealers will update the parking assist electronic control unit (ECU) software free of charge, according to the recall notice.
