Toyota is recalling approximately 655,000 Camry vehicles worldwide after a display defect was found to potentially disable important safety indicators, including turn signals and hazard lights. The recall affects vehicles produced between December 2023 and July 2026 at manufacturing plants in the United States, Japan and Thailand.
The recall is centered on a problem with the vehicle’s 7-inch combination meter display. According to recall information, the display can remain blank when the vehicle is started. When that happens, drivers may be unable to see certain information and warning indicators that would normally appear on the instrument panel.
The problem can extend beyond the loss of visual information. Safety-related indicators, including turn signals and hazard lights, may fail to operate as intended when the display malfunction occurs. Certain warning functions, including seat-belt reminders and the warning buzzer for a key left in the ignition, may also be affected.
More than 508,000 U.S. vehicles affected
In the United States, the recall covers 508,354 model-year 2025 and 2026 Camry Hybrids, according to information reported from federal recall documents. The affected vehicles are equipped with the 7-inch display combination meter.
Not every Camry configuration is included. Vehicles equipped with the larger 12.3-inch display, including certain XLE and XSE versions, are not affected by this particular defect.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has warned that the malfunction could increase crash risk because drivers may not be able to see certain indicators, while other motorists may be unable to tell when the affected vehicle’s driver intends to turn or is signaling a hazard.
Toyota plans a software fix
Toyota is expected to address the issue with a free software update. U.S. owners are scheduled to begin receiving recall notification letters on September 21, 2026, with notifications expected to continue through early October.
The global recall covers markets in North America, the Middle East, Asia and some other regions. Toyota said the affected vehicles were manufactured across three plants located in the U.S., Japan and Thailand.
Owners who believe their vehicle may be affected should check their vehicle identification number against official recall information and follow Toyota’s instructions once notified.
The recall underscores the importance of instrument displays in modern vehicles, where a single electronic malfunction can affect not only information shown to the driver but also safety-related warning and signaling functions.
