The hazard: Visibility or lighting defect

A lighting or visibility defect prompted this notice. Many of these remedies are quick, and some are delivered over the air.

What the notice says: A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Why it matters: Lights, wipers, mirrors, the rear camera, the windshield or the instrument display may not work as required. These faults reduce what the driver can see, or what other road users can see of the vehicle.

What to do about Visibility

Toyota — A lighting or visibility defect prompted this notice. Many of these remedies are quick, and some are delivered over the air.

  1. Check the specific item the notice names — a reversing camera or a dashboard display that works intermittently still counts as a defect.
  2. Call any franchised dealer for the brand, give them the campaign number from this page, and ask them to confirm parts are in stock before you book — part supply, not labour, is what delays a fresh recall.
  3. Until it is repaired, rely on mirrors and a physical look over your shoulder rather than the camera, and keep headlights on in poor light.
  4. If an instrument cluster goes blank, note when it happens; that detail helps the dealer reproduce the fault.

Getting the repair booked and paid for

The money side of a vehicle recall is simple. The scheduling side is where people lose weeks.

  • Ask whether the parts are physically in stock before you accept a date. A booking without parts is a wasted morning.
  • If you get nowhere, file at nhtsa.gov. Complaints tied to an open campaign number carry weight.
  • If the dealer says the remedy is not yet available, ask to be put on their notification list and get that in writing by email.
  • Where the manufacturer has issued an interim measure — park outside, do not drive, a software limiter — follow it until the full remedy is done.

Remedy named in the notice: Dealers will update the parking assist software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 25TB13 and 25LB06. Subaru's number for this recall is WRE25.
