Recall Overview 

Toyota has issued a safety recall affecting approximately 591,000 vehicles due to a potential issue with the digital instrument panel display that may go blank during vehicle startup. The recall impacts a wide range of Toyota and Lexus models equipped with a 12.3-inch digital dashboard, where the display may fail to illuminate when the vehicle is turned on. 

According to Toyota, a blank instrument panel could prevent drivers from seeing critical vehicle information, including warning lights and system alerts, increasing the risk of a crash. 

What Is the Problem? 

The issue stems from the programming of the digital combination meter, which may fail to initialize properly during startup. If this occurs, the display screen can remain dark, leaving drivers without access to essential driving information such as speed, warning indicators, or system messages. 

Toyota has not confirmed whether the issue occurs while driving, but the lack of information at startup poses a safety concern. Restarting the vehicle does not consistently resolve the issue, according to reports associated with the recall. 

Affected models include several Toyota vehicles such as the Venza, Crown Signia, RAV4, GR Corolla, 4Runner, Camry, Grand Highlander, Tacoma, and Highlander, along with Lexus LS, RX, and TX models equipped with the digital display system. 

What Owners Should Do 

Toyota dealers will correct the issue by updating the instrument panel software or replacing the combination meter if necessary, free of charge. The repair may take several hours depending on the required remedy. 

Owners of affected vehicles are expected to receive notification letters beginning in November 2025. Drivers can check their vehicle identification number (VIN) on the NHTSA recall website or contact Toyota customer support at 1-800-331-4331 for additional information. 

How Toyota Owners Can Take Back Control 

While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Recall Overview  

Toyota has issued a safety recall affecting approximately 55,000 model year 2025 Toyota Sienna  vehicles in the United States due to a potential issue involving the second-row seat mounting  system. The recall centers on seat rails that may not have been properly welded during  production, which could increase the risk of injury in certain crash scenarios. 

According to Toyota, the affected vehicles may have second-row seats mounted on seat rails that  do not meet required structural standards. If the seats are occupied during a high-speed collision,  the improperly welded rails could lose structural integrity, potentially increasing injury risk for  passengers. 

What Is the Problem?  

The issue stems from a manufacturing defect in which the welding process for the second-row  seat rails may not have been completed correctly. As a result, the seat assembly may not provide  the intended level of protection in a crash. 

Toyota notes that there are no warning signs or dashboard indicators associated with this issue,  meaning owners may not be aware of the defect until the vehicle is inspected. 

What Toyota Is Doing  

Toyota dealers will replace the second-row seat rails with properly welded components at no cost  to owners. The repair is intended to restore the structural integrity of the seat mounting system  and ensure compliance with safety standards. 

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning in early December 2025. In the  meantime, owners can check whether their vehicle is included in the recall by entering their  Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the Toyota or NHTSA recall websites. 

What Owners Should Do  

Owners of affected Toyota Sienna vehicles should schedule a service appointment with an  authorized Toyota dealer once notification is received. The repair will be performed free of charge. 

Drivers with questions can also contact Toyota customer support at 1-800-331-4331 for  additional information regarding the recall and repair process.

History Behind the Recall

Toyota Motor Corporation has announced a recall affecting more than 126,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles due to a potential engine defect that could cause stalling or loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash. The recall was posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website and involves vehicles equipped with Toyota’s V35A engine.

According to Toyota, the issue stems from engine machining debris that may not have been fully cleared during the manufacturing process. This debris can contaminate internal engine components, leading to main bearing failure, which may cause the engine to stall unexpectedly.

This recall expands on a prior recall issued in May 2024 (NHTSA Recall No. 24V381), which covered more than 102,000 vehicles, including earlier model-year Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX vehicles. Toyota has not yet confirmed whether any injuries or crashes have occurred as a result of this issue.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

Toyota stated that 126,691 vehicles are included in the current recall, the majority of which are full-size pickup trucks. The affected vehicles include:

  • 2022–2024 Toyota Tundra – 113,079 vehicles
  • 2022–2024 Lexus LX – 9,895 vehicles
  • 2024 Lexus GX – 3,717 vehicles

All affected vehicles are equipped with the V35A engine, and Toyota believes the contamination occurred during production, prior to vehicle delivery.

What Owners Need to Do Next

At this time, Toyota says it is still developing a repair solution. Once finalized, all necessary repairs will be performed free of charge at authorized Toyota and Lexus dealerships.

Toyota plans to:

  • Notify dealers beginning November 6, and
  • Notify owners once a remedy is available, expected between December 22 and January 5.

Owners with questions can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Relevant recall numbers include:

  • NHTSA Recall No.: 25V767000
  • Toyota Recall Nos.: 25TB14, 25TA14
  • Lexus Recall Nos.: 25LB07, 25LA07

Owners are also encouraged to check their VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls for the most up-to-date information.

History Behind the Recall

Toyota has announced a major safety recall affecting nearly 600,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States after reports that the 12.3-inch digital instrument panel may go blank while driving or at startup. 

The defect wipes out vital information such as the speedometer, warning lights, and malfunction indicators, increasing the risk of accidents and driver confusion.

This issue highlights the growing tension between advanced vehicle technology and reliability. As car interiors become increasingly digital, a single display failure can compromise not just convenience—but safety itself.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The recall impacts several of Toyota’s most popular models, including the Crown, Crown Signia, RAV4, Camry, Grand Highlander, Venza, GR Corolla, Tacoma, Highlander, and 4Runner.
On the Lexus side, the LS, RX, and TX models are affected.

These vehicles represent some of the automaker’s best-selling and most profitable lines, showing how even flagship models aren’t immune to electronic reliability challenges.

What Owners Need to Do Next

Toyota will begin notifying owners by mid-November 2025. Dealers will update the combination meter software or, if necessary, replace the entire display unit free of charge.

While Toyota maintains that the defect does not affect drivability, the loss of key visual alerts means this is being treated as a safety recall under NHTSA regulations. Owners seeking assistance can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 and reference recall numbers 25TB08 and 25TA08.

Toyota and Subaru’s first-ever all-electric SUVs are now under legal fire. A new class action lawsuit alleges that the 2023–2025 Toyota bZ4X and 2023–2025 Subaru Solterra suffer from a critical defect in their 12-volt battery systems, leading to repeated failures, stranded drivers, and out-of-pocket towing costs.

But while a class action may offer some compensation, many legal experts agree: opting out and pursuing an individual case could lead to far greater benefits.

History Behind the Class Action

The lawsuit, filed as Wade, et al. v. Toyota Motor North America Inc., et al., claims that the 12v batteries in these all-electric SUVs drain rapidly and repeatedly fail, even after warranty replacements.

Unlike the high-voltage lithium-ion battery that powers the vehicle’s motor, the 12-volt battery is responsible for essential accessories like windshield wipers, windows, seat adjustments, and heating/cooling fans. It’s also required to activate the main electric powertrain.

When the 12v system dies, drivers are often left stranded, unable to start or drive the car—even if the high-voltage battery is fully charged.

According to the plaintiffs, Toyota and Subaru were aware of these battery system flaws before launch but sold the vehicles anyway, continuing to deny full responsibility even after customer complaints and multiple battery replacements.

Which Vehicles Are Affected?

The lawsuit targets the following all-electric models:

  • 2023–2025 Toyota bZ4X
  • 2023–2025 Subaru Solterra

While Toyota and Subaru collaborated on the design and platform of these vehicles, both brands are now under scrutiny for allegedly failing to fix or acknowledge the persistent 12v battery issue.

What Compensation Might the Class Action Provide?

The lawsuit is still in early stages, and no settlement has been announced yet. However, if successful, the class action may lead to:

  • Reimbursement for 12v battery replacements
  • Compensation for towing expenses
  • Possible warranty extensions or vehicle buybacks

Consumers will need to submit documentation, such as repair records or service receipts, to qualify for any potential reimbursement.

Why You Should Consider Opting Out

Class actions often result in limited compensation. In many cases, plaintiffs receive only partial reimbursement for repair costs, and only if they can provide strict proof of expenses.

By opting out, you preserve the right to file an individual lemon law claim, which may result in significantly higher compensation, including:

  • Full vehicle repurchase
  • Refunds for all repairs and rentals
  • Payment for time lost and emotional distress

If your Toyota bZ4X or Subaru Solterra has left you stranded or frustrated due to a faulty 12v battery, you may be eligible to pursue your own case outside the class action.

How Toyota and Subaru Owners Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has been initiated, thousands of Jeep owners are likely affected by the same alleged 12v battery issue, with many expressing dissatisfaction over The Japanese Automakers inadequate solutions. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Toyota and Subaru are facing a new class action lawsuit alleging that their jointly developed electric vehicles, the Toyota bZ4X and Subaru Solterra. Each one suffers from a recurring issue with the 12-volt battery system which can lead to repeated failures and leave drivers stranded. 

The lawsuit points to a widespread design or electrical fault that kills replacement batteries as quickly as the original ones, despite no official fix being offered.

History Behind the Lawsuit

Filed in the U.S. Eastern District Court of California, the class action centers on the experience of lead plaintiff Wade, a Toyota bZ4X owner whose 12-volt accessory battery has failed three times in under 5,000 miles of driving. Despite replacing the battery twice since March 2023, each new unit drained within weeks or months, leaving the vehicle inoperable and requiring dealership intervention.

The complaint alleges that Toyota and Subaru knew about this defect prior to the release of the 2023–2025 bZ4X and Solterra models. The lawsuit claims that both manufacturers ignored consumer complaints, failed to alert new buyers, and have continued selling defective vehicles without a permanent fix.

Although the lawsuit doesn’t pinpoint the exact technical cause, it highlights that the 12-volt batteries are persistently draining regardless of usage. Online forums, Reddit posts, and NHTSA complaints mirror the plaintiff’s experience. With drivers reporting multiple battery failures within the first year of ownership.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

  • 2023–2025 Toyota bZ4X
  • 2023–2025 Subaru Solterra

Both models share nearly identical engineering platforms, including the battery and electrical systems that are at the heart of the legal complaint.

What Owners Need to Know

According to the filing, neither Subaru nor Toyota has publicly acknowledged the widespread nature of the 12-volt battery problem or issued a technical service bulletin or recall. Instead, many owners say they have been offered replacement batteries that eventually suffer the same fate.

The class action seeks to represent all affected owners and lessees of bZ4X and Solterra vehicles in the United States, demanding reimbursement for costs, compensation for diminished value, and any other relief the court deems just.

How Toyota and Subaru Drivers Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has began, thousands of Toyota and Subaru drivers are likely to be affected by the same 12-volt battery defect, with many expressing dissatisfaction over inadequate solutions. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action like this, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.

Toyota has announced a major recall affecting nearly 443,000 Tundra trucks in the United States due to a reverse light defect that could lead to serious safety risks while backing up.

History Behind the Recall

This latest recall, affecting 2022–2025 Toyota Tundras, stems from a manufacturing issue where moisture can seep into the reverse light housings. As these components are supposed to be sealed from the elements, over time, this intrusion can cause the reverse lights to fail entirely.

In addition to the increased risk of collisions, this malfunction also affects the vehicle’s reverse camera, which relies on those lights to illuminate the area behind the truck in low-light conditions. Without working reverse lamps, the rear-view feed may become too dark to safely guide the vehicle.

To make matters worse, the recall notice warns that moisture intrusion could lead to wiring corrosion inside the reverse light housing, potentially requiring more extensive repairs. Toyota identified the issue after receiving reports of lighting failures and began an investigation that resulted in this sweeping recall.

Dealers have been instructed to replace both reverse light assemblies and inspect the wiring harnesses for any corrosion or damage. If found, affected components will be repaired or replaced at no cost to the owner.

Which Vehicles Are Affected

  • Toyota Tundra (2022–2025)

What Owners Need to Do Next

Toyota will begin notifying owners of the recall starting in July 2025. Concerned drivers can contact their local dealership in advance to check whether their truck is affected. Repairs will be completed free of charge.

History Behind the Lawsuit

A new class action lawsuit has been filed against Toyota Motor North America by three Toyota Tundra owners who claim that the automaker’s recent engine recall is not sufficient to address serious safety issues tied to V35A engines. The lawsuit was brought despite Toyota offering free engine replacements for affected trucks.

Toyota’s initial recall included certain 2022–2023 Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX600 SUVs, citing engine failures due to machining debris left during production. This debris can cause bearing failure, knocking, stalling, and even engine seizures. Toyota began replacing engines under the oversight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

However, plaintiffs Tom Daley (Vermont), Marty Holstien (Oregon), and Terrance Regan (North Carolina) claim Toyota’s recall doesn’t go far enough. They argue the fix may not work and that the recall excludes 2024 Tundra models and all Tundra Hybrid trucks, which they believe may also be affected. They also claim they were left to drive unsafe vehicles while waiting for a resolution.

Which Models Are Affected

The lawsuit covers 2022–2024 Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks equipped with V35A engines. Toyota acknowledges problems only in select V35A engines found in 2022–2023 Tundra’s and LX600s, not hybrids or 2024 models.

What Toyota Owners Need To Do Next

Owners of affected trucks should contact Toyota dealerships regarding engine replacement eligibility, and if experiencing throttle lag or engine failure, document issues and any dealership visits. Toyota continues to defend its position that affected engines are being properly replaced, and that hybrids and 2024 trucks do not share the same engine defect.

How Toyota Owners Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has been initiated, thousands of Toyota owners are likely affected by the same alleged engine defect, with many expressing dissatisfaction over Toyota’s responses. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.

New Class Action Alleges Dangerous Braking System Failure

Toyota is facing a class action lawsuit over claims that its 2024 Corolla vehicles contain a defective braking system that puts drivers at serious risk. The lawsuit, filed in a California federal court by plaintiff Valerie Infante, alleges that Toyota failed to warn consumers about a brake defect that could prevent the vehicle from decelerating during sudden stops.

According to the lawsuit, the braking defect causes the vehicle to delay responding to the driver’s input, and although the automatic emergency braking system eventually activates, it may do so too late to prevent a crash.

Crash Incident Reported Due to Alleged Brake Failure

Infante claims her own 2024 Corolla failed to stop when she had to brake suddenly in March 2024 to avoid a collision. Despite applying the brakes, the car did not respond as expected, resulting in a crash. She says this incident highlights a serious safety failure and accuses Toyota of concealing the defect from consumers at the point of sale or lease.

The lawsuit also alleges that Toyota has refused to accept responsibility or provide a working fix for the issue, leaving consumers with unsafe vehicles and no available solution.

What the Lawsuit Seeks

The proposed class includes all California residents who purchased or leased a 2024 Toyota Corolla. Infante is seeking compensatory and consequential damages, as well as injunctive relief, and demands a jury trial. The claims include violations of the Consumer Legal Remedies Act, False Advertising Law, Unfair Competition Law, and the Song-Beverly Consumer Warranty Act.

The lawsuit is titled: Infante, et al. v. Toyota Motor Corporation, et al., Case No. 5:25-cv-00428, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The plaintiff is represented by David J. Harris Jr. and Gerilyn R. Harris of Harris LLP.

How Toyota Owners Can Take Back Control

While this class action lawsuit has been initiated, thousands of Toyota Corolla owners may be dealing with the same alleged brake failure, with many expressing frustration over the lack of proper acknowledgment or support from the automaker. These types of cases can grow into major legal actions, reinforcing the importance of protecting your consumer rights.
