HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM: INVERTER
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Camry Hybrid and 2026 Corolla Cross Hybrid vehicles. A bolt inside the inverter may not have been tightened properly, causing incomplete contact at the inverter terminal.
- What it can cause
- Incomplete contact can cause a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, a loose bolt can cause an electrical short while the vehicle is powered on, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the inverter assembly, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed July 23, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 25TB15/25TA15.
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 55,405 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the hybrid propulsion system 9 times before this, most recently in June 2020 as 20V369000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 2 of the 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 270 complaints with NHTSA, 56 of them before this campaign was filed. 37 of those name the hybrid propulsion system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2024, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 26V511000 (exterior lighting), 25V744000 (back over prevention), 25V059000 (seat belts), 24V548000 (equipment).
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 December 16, 2025 as campaign 25V869000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
