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
