Toyota is announcing a recall for 161,268 Toyota Tundra and Toyota Tundra Hybrids from model years 2024-2025 with the Panoramic View Monitor system installed. In the affected vehicles, the multimedia system may get stuck under certain conditions, and fail to display the rear camera view when placed in reverse. As a result, those vehicles face an increased chance of accident while backing up, and are in violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
