History Behind the Recalls
Three major automakers, Toyota, Subaru, and Volvo, have issued recalls addressing separate but serious safety issues, according to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recalls collectively affect more than 95,000 vehicles in the United States and center around potential failures that could impact driver visibility or occupant safety.
Toyota and Subaru Recall: Defroster and Defogger System Failure
- NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V577000
- Affected Units: 94,320
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling select 2023–2025 Toyota bZ4X, Lexus RZ, and Subaru Solterra vehicles. During certain HVAC system faults, such as an electrical compressor failure, the defroster and defogger system may stop working, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the HVAC control ECU software and inspect or replace the electrical compressor, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 20, 2025.
For assistance, contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 (recall numbers 25TB07 / 25TA07), Lexus at 1-800-255-3987 (25LB04 / 25LA04), or Subaru at 1-844-373-6614 (WRD-25).

Volvo Car USA is recalling 2026 XC90 MHEV, XC60 MHEV, V90CC MHEV, and V60CC MHEV vehicles due to torsion bars in the front seat belt retractors that may have been damaged during production. A damaged retractor may not properly restrain an occupant during a collision, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace both front seat belt retractors free of charge. Notification letters are expected to be mailed October 30, 2025. For more information, owners can contact Volvo customer service at 1-800-458-1552 and reference recall R10340.
