The recall covers 2024–2025 model-year Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles. According to Toyota, the multimedia screen may freeze under certain conditions, becoming stuck on the rear camera view or displaying a black screen. The malfunction could prevent drivers from accessing critical information, prompting concerns that the issue does not meet US federal motor vehicle safety standards.

Toyota stated that owners of the affected vehicles will be formally notified by late March. In the meantime, customers have been advised to monitor updates through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). However, federal recall filings related to the issue were not immediately available as of Friday afternoon.
The Japanese automaker did not report any injuries or accidents linked to the multimedia defect. Details regarding a fix have not yet been disclosed, though recalls of this nature typically involve a software update or system reprogramming at authorised dealerships.
The recall adds to a broader trend of vehicle safety actions across the US auto industry. According to Forbes, Toyota recalled approximately 3.2 million vehicles in 2025 across 15 separate recalls, making it the second-largest source of vehicle recalls in the country last year. Ford topped the list, with nearly 12.9 million vehicles recalled across 153 actions, according to NHTSA data.
The Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid are full-size pickup trucks designed for both commercial and personal use. The models feature composite cargo beds available in multiple lengths — 5.5 feet, 6.5 feet, and 8.1 feet — and offer Double Cab and CrewMax configurations.
