What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: This defect violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard #111 (Rear Visibility), creating a documented risk of crashes due to lost rearview visibility. No deaths, serious injuries, or property damage have been reported; therefore, the score is High rather than Severe, following the rubric's criterion for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Toyota is recalling approximately 18,101 of the 2022 Toyota Tundra vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. The parking assist electronic control unit (ECU) software has a defect that may prevent the rearview camera signal from transmitting during cold weather, which results in the rearview image not displaying.

This defect violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, which requires rear visibility. A rearview camera that does not display increases the driver's inability to see what is behind the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.

The recall affects all 2022 Toyota Tundra vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor system. Owners who received notification letters in June 2022 should contact Toyota or their local Toyota dealer to schedule the free reprogram of the parking assist ECU software. For questions, owners can call Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
