Toyota is recalling approximately 31,428 model-year 2022 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor system. Due to a software programming error for the parking assist electronic control unit, the front camera image may appear on the multimedia display instead of the rear camera image when the shifter is placed into reverse. A rearview camera that fails to display the correct image can reduce the driver’s view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on July 27, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 800-331-4331 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To resolve the issue, dealers will reprogram the parking assist electronic control unit software.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
