Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru vehicles with defective panoramic rearview camera
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling 2022–2026 Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru vehicles with a Panoramic View Monitor system due to a software error that may freeze or blank the rearview camera in reverse, reducing rear visibility and increasing crash risk.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
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 is a structural vehicle safety defect involving a system required by federal safety standards (FMVSS 111) that directly impairs rear visibility and increases crash risk. Although no injuries or deaths are reported in the source, the failure of a mandatory safety system places it at the High level per the rubric.
Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2022–2026 Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru vehicles equipped with a Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. A software error may cause the rearview camera to freeze or display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, which addresses rear visibility requirements.
A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Affected vehicles span multiple model lines and model years from 2022 through 2026.
Dealers will update the parking assist software at no cost. Owner letters were mailed on January 2, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's recall numbers are 25TB13 and 25LB06; Subaru's recall number is WRE25.
