Toyota voluntary recall for distorted image on front and rearview cameras
Toyota has issued a voluntary recall for 13,000 of its 2023 Crown vehicles in North America. The automotive manufacturer said the frontview or rearview camera case may allow water to enter and short circuit the camera. This will cause a driver's frontview or rearview camera not to display its images properly. When the rearview image does not display, there may be an increased risk of hitting an object or injuring a pedestrian while the vehicle is in reverse, Toyota said in its press release.
For drivers with the affected vehicles Toyota will be replacing the cameras for free. Notification letters are expected to be delivered by mid-August. Owners may contact Toyota customer support by calling the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331.
