Toyota is recalling roughly 655,000 vehicles, the automaker confirmed Tuesday, due to a display error that may deactivate safety indicators like turn signals and hazard lights.

Most of the now-recalled cars were sold in the US -- where more than 500,000 model year 2025-26 Camry Hybrids are affected.
According to documents published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, these vehicles are equipped with a 7-inch (17.8 centimeters) display combination meter that can appear blank at startup.
Toyota Recalls Over Half a Million Vehicles
Turn signals, hazard lights and other warning buzzers, such as reminders to fasten the seat belt and remove the key from the ignition, may also be deactivated due to the defect in affected vehicles.
"The 7-inch combination meter may become blank at startup," the automaker said in a statement.
"This can also deactivate the turn signal and hazard lamps. And certain warning buzzer sounds (such as the smart key reminder and the driver/passenger seat belt reminder). This can cause the vehicle not to meet certain federal safety standards."
"If certain required information is not displayed in the combination meter, if the turn signal/hazard lamps do not function, or if certain warning buzzers do not activate, there can be an increased risk of injury. Or a crash depending on the specific situation," the statement added.
Toyota Has Issued Several Recalls This Year
Texas-based Toyota Motor North America says it will notify all known owners of the affected Camrys to bring their vehicles into a certified dealer. To remedy the issue, those dealers will provide a software update free of charge.
Owner letters are set to be mailed starting Sept. 21 in the US. Toyota expects to complete those notifications by early October. Customers can also check the NHTSA's and Toyota's online recall lookups to see if their car is affected.
Consumers can also contact Toyota's customer support line at 800-331-4331.
According to Forbes, Toyota has issued 18 recalls this year. That is tied with Hyundai for the fourth-most among all automakers. Only General Motors (19), Chrysler (25) and Ford (63) have issued more, according to NHTSA data.
Toyota confirmed that the recall affects vehicles stemming from plants in the US, Japan and Thailand.
Before the recall, the automaker reported that 2025 was its best-selling year for Camry models.
