Toyota recalls 13,000 cars over camera defect that increases risk of hitting pedestrians
View Date:2024-12-23 23:58:41
Toyota issued a safety recall for 13,000 Toyota Crown cars on Friday, citing a defect with the built-in cameras.
Any front-view or rearview camera case is vulnerable to water damage, which could cause the camera to short circuit and obstruct views, the automotive manufacturer said in a news release.
"If the rearview image does not display, there can be an increased risk of striking and injuring a pedestrian while backing the vehicle," the company said.
Toyota is set inform owners of the issue by mid-August, saying that dealers will “inspect the serial number of the affected cameras and, if necessary, replace them at no cost to customers.”
Toyota issued another recent safety recall
Over 100,000 Toyota Tundra and Toyota Lexus LX600 vehicles were also the subject a safety recall recently, USA TODAY reported. The V35A engine equipped in the 2022-2023 vehicles may “stall and cause a loss of drive power” as a result of debris produced during the manufacturing process.
This debris “may contaminate the engine and cause the main bearings to fail,” according to a National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration report obtained by USA TODAY. The remedy for the issue is currently under development and owners are set to be notified by July 15.
