Toyota has issued a voluntary recall affecting several models, with hundreds of thousands of vehicles in the U.S. potentially impacted.

Automakers typically issue recalls when a defect could lead to accidents or injuries. In this case, Toyota has identified multiple safety concerns across three separate recalls announced in January, involving more than 300,000 vehicles.

Here’s a breakdown of each recall and the models affected, along with guidance on how to check if your vehicle is included.

Tundra recall over collision risk

On January 23, Toyota reported a recall affecting certain 2024-2025 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models. According to the company, “Under certain circumstances, the multimedia display may become stuck on a camera view or display a black image in the subject vehicles. If this occurs, the rearview image may not be displayed while the vehicle is being reversed. In this case, the vehicle may not meet a federal safety standard, and there can be an increased risk of a crash with a person behind the vehicle.”

Approximately 162,000 vehicles are involved. Owners will be notified by the end of March 2026. Dealers will update the ECU software for the parking assist system at no cost to the customer.

Prius recall over potential injury risk

On January 28, Toyota announced a second recall involving certain 2023-2026 Toyota Prius models. “There is a possibility that certain circumstances can cause water to enter the electric door switches on the rear doors of the subject vehicles and cause a switch to activate. If this occurs while the rear doors are unlocked, a rear door can open while driving, leading to an increased risk of injury to occupants,” the company said.

Around 142,000 vehicles are affected. Owners will be notified by the end of March 2026. Dealers will modify the circuits in the left and right rear door switches free of charge to prevent accidental activation, even in the event of a short circuit.

Supra recall over starter motor defect

On January 30, Toyota announced a recall for certain 2021-2023 Toyota Supra models. “This safety recall involves the engine starter. According to BMW, due to unexpected wear on an internal component, the starter may not function properly. In some cases, this could lead to a non-starting engine. In an extreme case, this could cause a thermal event or fire when attempting to start the engine or while the engine is running,” the company reported.

Approximately 800 vehicles are affected. Owners will be notified by the end of March 2026. Dealers will replace the starter motor with an improved version at no cost. Toyota also advises owners not to leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running, including when using remote start.

Check if your Toyota is affected

Even if you own one of the models mentioned, your vehicle may not be part of the recall. To confirm, visit Toyota’s website or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) portal. You will need your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.

The 17-character VIN is located on the dashboard near the base of the windshield on the driver’s side. It will also be required to schedule repairs with your dealership. For additional questions, Toyota customer service can be reached at 1-800-331-4331.
