Toyota recalls 655K Camrys over display error that may deactivate turn signals and other indicators
Dealers will install a free software update after the defect can leave warning and notification systems blank or disabled, regulators said.
Toyota is recalling about 655,000 Camry vehicles globally on Tuesday, including more than 508,000 in the U.S., due to a software defect that can leave the instrument cluster display blank at startup.
According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration documents, the 7-inch combination meter may experience initialization issues during vehicle startup, deactivating turn signals, hazard lights, and seatbelt warning systems.
Affected vehicles may not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 101, 108, 114, and 208; these failures increase crash risks for drivers unable to see indicators and other road users, NHTSA warns.
Dealers will provide a free software update for affected Camrys, with Texas-based Toyota Motor North America set to mail owner notifications starting Sept. 21 to schedule repairs.
Produced across three plants in the U.S., Japan, and Thailand, the 655,000-vehicle campaign ranks among the larger automotive recalls of 2026, reflecting growing software integration in vehicle systems.
