Recalls for the 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid: 6
The instrument cluster display may fail during vehicle startup, deactivating the hazard lights, turn signals, seat belt warning system, and smart key reminder. An instrument cluster that fails to display critical safety information increases the risk of a crash or injury.
A bolt inside the inverter may not have been tightened properly, causing incomplete contact at the inverter terminal. Incomplete contact can cause a loss of motive power, increasing the risk of a crash. In addition, a loose bolt can cause an electrical short while the vehicle is powered on, increasing the risk of a fire.
A software error may cause the rearview camera to freeze or display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Due to an error in the instrument panel software at vehicle startup, the instrument panel may fail to display vehicle speed, brake system, and tire pressure warning lights. An instrument panel display that does not show critical information can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
The second-row center seat belt webbing may be damaged. A damaged seat belt may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
The load carrying capacity modification label may display inaccurate added weight values. A vehicle with an incorrect maximum capacity weight value may be overloaded, which can increase the risk of a crash.
