1 million Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru cars are being recalled: Here’s the reason

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced a recall affecting over 1 million vehicles from Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru. This includes models from 2022 through 2026 that are fitted with the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system.

A software issue could potentially cause the rearview camera to freeze or go blank while reversing, which raises the crash risk and leads to non-compliance with federal safety standards.

In total, 1,024,407 vehicles are affected by this recall, all considered defective.

Here’s a list of the makes and models included:

Dealers will provide updates for the parking assistance software at no cost in the future.

If you own any of the listed vehicles, you can expect a notification letter in December regarding the safety concerns. A follow-up letter will inform you when the solution is ready.
