Toyota Recalls 400,000 Trucks SUVs for Multimedia Driveshaft Issues

Toyota has issued two recalls affecting approximately 400,000 vehicles, including 2022-2025 Tundra and Sequoia models and 2023-2025 Tacoma trucks. The larger recall involves a software issue with the 14-inch multimedia display, which can freeze or show distorted images, potentially disabling backup camera functionality and increasing collision risk; Toyota will provide a free software update to fix this. A smaller but more serious recall targets about 6,000 2025 Tacoma four-wheel-drive trucks due to front driveshaft joints made with incorrect materials, which could deform or break, impairing the vehicle's ability to turn and possibly causing it to roll away if parked without the electronic parking brake engaged. Toyota plans to notify owners by late November 2025, with dealers offering free repairs or software updates as needed. The recalls highlight concerns raised by owners about driveline vibrations and backup camera reliability, prompting Toyota's proactive measures to address safety and functionality issues. Customers are advised to contact Toyota or visit official websites to check if their vehicles are affected and to arrange for remedies.
