Toyota is recalling more than 161,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. due to a software defect that can prevent the rearview camera image from being displayed when the vehicle it is switched in reverse, federal safety regulators said.
The withdrawal 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 an advisory issued Friday.
“A rearview camera image that is not displayed reduces the driver’s view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash,” NHTSA noted.

The flaw finally reproduced during testing in July 2025.
