Toyota issues recall for over 440,000 vehicles—find out which models are affected

If you own a certain type of vehicle, it might be a good idea to stay alert.

Over 440,000 units are involved in a recent recall.

The issue could impact how your vehicle signals in certain situations.

Staying updated on developments like this can help you avoid potential risks.



Toyota has issued a recall for 443,444 vehicles, focusing on certain 2022–2025 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid models.

The issue? Moisture can infiltrate the reverse light assemblies, eventually leading to total light failure.

That might not sound major—until you consider how important those lights are for safely backing up.

Without reverse lights, other drivers and pedestrians might not realize your vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of collisions—especially in dimly lit or crowded areas.

If you own one of these models, your truck is part of the recall:
  • 2022–2025 Toyota Tundra
  • 2022–2025 Toyota Tundra Hybrid
At this time, no other Toyota vehicles are included, but it’s always wise to double-check using your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

When these lights fail—especially on large trucks like the Tundra—it’s like driving blind in reverse. It puts you, your passengers, and everyone around you at greater risk.

Driving with faulty equipment, even something as seemingly minor as a light, can have serious consequences.

Don’t wait for the letter—schedule your inspection and repair now.
