NHTSA Recall 22V285000
Filed by Toyota Motor Corporation. Component: Back Over Prevention. Reported 2022-04-28. An estimated 18,101 vehicles are affected. Recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer.
Defect
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022 Tundra vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. The parking assist electronic control unit (ECU) software may prevent transmission of the rearview camera signal during cold weather, preventing the rearview image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Risk
A rearview camera that does not display an image reduces the driver's view of what is behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What the manufacturer will do
Dealers will reprogram the parking assist ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 2, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 22TA04.
