Toyota recalls 32,733 cars in Canada from a defect in the rear view camera that increases the risk of an accident, Transport Canada said last week.

The problem with the rear view camera can lead to the fact that the image is not displayed at all correctly either at all, and Canadian rules require that the image is displayed when the car is the other way around, in accordance with the notificationField

“The image of the rear view camera, which is not displayed correctly, can reduce the driver's ability to see behind the vehicle during backup copying. This can increase the risk of an accident, ”the notification says.

The review includes all SEQUOIA models from 2023 to 2025 and all Tundra models (including hybrids) from 2022 to 2025. The review only affects vehicles with a 14-inch multimedia display.

The car manufacturer will notify the owners of vehicles in writing if they are affected by their car, but drivers can also check Toyota Recall the database To see if their vehicle is part of the review.

Owners of vehicles with a withdrawn model can deliver their car to the Toyota dealer center to update their multimedia software.
