Toyota is recalling more than 161,000 pickup trucks in the United States due to a software defect that may prevent the rearview camera image from displaying when the vehicle is reversed, federal safety regulators said.
The recall affects certain 2024 and 2025 models Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models equipped with the automaker’s Surround View Monitor (PVM) system, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in an advisory released Friday.
“A rearview camera image that does not display reduces the driver’s vision behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash,” NHTSA noted.

Toyota first became aware of the problem in March 2025 after receiving a field report that a poor camera view appeared while the vehicle was in reverse. Additional reports surfaced in April and May, although engineers were initially unable to reproduce the problem, according to NHTSA.
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.
