According to NHTSA statistics, Toyota recalls may have impacted 4.2 million cars last year. A large portion of that number stemmed from a recall of one million cars in late December, which aimed to fix an electrical problem that would have prevented airbags from activating.

In addition, Toyota declared a recall on 19,000 certain Lexus LS, LC, and ES cars as well as some Mirai models manufactured in North America between 2023 and 2024. The rearview picture in certain cars may “not display[ing] within the period of time required by certain US safety regulations after the driver shifts the vehicle into reverse, increasing the risk of a crash while backing the vehicle” due to a software issue in such cars.

Additionally, there is a recall on 4,000 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid cars due to a problem with the head restraints on the back fold-down seats, which may “increase the risk of injury during certain collisions.”

The recall comes after the firm issued a warning to the owners of thousands of older Matrix, RAV4, and Corolla vehicles last month, alerting them to the possibility of a Takata airbag inflator blowing and launching shrapnel.
