BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023 Mirai, Lexus LS500, LS500H, 2023-2024 Lexus ES250, ES300H, ES350, 2024 Lexus LC500, and LC500H vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. Due to incorrect programming of the parking-assist electronic control unit (ECU) software, the rearview camera image may not immediately display within a couple of seconds after the shifter is placed into reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the parking assist ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TA01 and 24LA01.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 18,616 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 2 times before this, most recently in September 2019 as 19V684000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 3 of the 9 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 25 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 1 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2022, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 25V744000 (back over prevention).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on February 21, 2024 as campaign 24V124000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
