Risk: A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview and frontview cameras as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed August 9, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TB08 and 24TA08.
