7 recalls covering model years 2023, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
On many recent Toyota and Lexus models, the sticker that tells you how much added weight the vehicle can carry shows incorrect numbers. That label is what owners use to judge how many passengers plus how much luggage, gear or cargo is safe to load. Because the figures are wrong, you could load the vehicle heavier than it is built to handle without realizing it. The dealer replaces the label free.
A software error can keep the backup camera picture from showing up on the center screen when you shift into reverse. Without it, you cannot see children, pets or objects directly behind the truck, and these vehicles no longer meet the federal rear-visibility rule. A dealer will update the multimedia display software free of charge, with no parts involved. Toyota mailed owner letters on November 19, 2025, so you can book the repair now.
The front and rear tires on the passenger side may have damage on the inner sidewall, which is the part of the tire facing under the vehicle where it is hard to see. Damage in that spot can let a tire lose its air all at once rather than going down slowly. A sudden flat while you are moving can pull the vehicle to one side and make it hard to control. A dealer will inspect the tires and replace any that are damaged.
These SUVs have a small cover over the tow hitch opening in the rear bumper. On the affected vehicles that cover can work itself loose and fall off while you are driving. A piece of trim lying in a traffic lane is a hazard for the cars behind you, and someone could hit it or swerve to avoid it. The fix replaces the cover and changes the rear bumper so the new one stays put.
These Toyotas were sold with accessories added through Gulf States Toyota. When accessories are added, a sticker is supposed to be placed on the vehicle showing how much less weight it can now carry in people and cargo. On these vehicles that sticker shows the wrong numbers. If you go by it, you could load the vehicle heavier than it is rated for. Gulf States Toyota is mailing corrected labels to owners at no charge; nothing on the vehicle needs repair.
When the vehicle is in neutral and no one is pressing the brake pedal, it may move on its own unexpectedly. The vehicle can creep or roll when you expect it to sit still, and that can lead to it hitting something or someone nearby. There is no part to replace: the dealer reloads the software in the computer that controls the transmission, free of charge. Toyota's notice covers the Lexus LX600 under this same campaign as well.
Toyota is recalling certain 2023 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. The spare tire hangs underneath the back of the vehicle on a steel chain, and on these vehicles that chain may not have been welded well enough. A weak weld can break, which would let the spare tire come loose and fall off while you are driving. Dealers will replace the whole spare tire carrier for free. Owner letters were expected to be mailed August 14, 2023.
