Toyota is initiating a recall of nearly 400,000 vehicles due to a potentially faulty rearview camera system that could fail to display when reversing, significantly elevating the risk of an accident, according to federal traffic safety regulators.

The recall encompasses 393,838 automobiles, specifically targeting 2022-2025 Toyota Tundras and Tundra hybrids, alongside 2023-2025 Sequoia hybrids. More than half of the affected vehicles are non-hybrid Tundra models.
