Do You Have a Toyota Camry? Check if Your Car is Affected by a Recall
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Toyota is recalling approximately 655,000 Camry vehicles worldwide, the automaker confirmed on Tuesday, due to a display error that may disable safety indicators such as turn signals and hazard lights during startup. Most of the recalled cars were sold in the United States, where over 508,000 Camry Hybrids from the 2025-2026 model years are affected. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), these vehicles are equipped with a 7-inch instrument panel that may go blank upon starting. In addition to turn signals and hazard lights, certain alerts such as seatbelt reminders and 'key left in ignition' warnings may also fail to function. These failures increase the risk of a crash, both for drivers who may not see warning indicators and for 'the ability of other road users to recognize the driver's intention to change direction or signal a vehicle hazard,' the NHTSA warned. Toyota Motor North America, based in Texas—a subsidiary of the larger Japanese manufacturer—indicated that it will notify all known owners of the affected Camrys to take their vehicles to a certified dealer. To address the issue, those dealers will subsequently provide a software update at no cost. Letters to owners will be mailed starting September 21 in the United States, and Toyota expects to complete those notifications by early October. In the meantime, customers can check the NHTSA and Toyota's online recall search tools to see if their car is affected. Toyota confirmed to The Associated Press via email on Tuesday that its recall affects markets in North America, the Middle East, Asia, and some countries in other regions. The company noted that the 655,000 impacted vehicles were produced between December 2023 and July 2026, at three plants located in the United States, Japan, and Thailand.
