Federal transportation safety officials announced Wednesday that Toyota Motor Corporation will pull more than 144,000 vehicles from American roadways due to malfunctioning backup camera systems that could lead to accidents.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported that affected vehicles may experience complete failure of rear camera displays when drivers shift into reverse, creating dangerous blind spots that significantly increase collision risks.
According to federal regulators, the safety recall encompasses specific Lexus models including NX350 and NX250 vehicles manufactured between 2022 and 2025, RX350 models from 2023 through 2026, and TX350 vehicles produced from 2024 to 2026.
NHTSA officials stated that authorized dealerships will address the defect by installing updated software or completely replacing the backup camera systems at no cost to vehicle owners.
