Key Points
- Toyota is recalling 591,377 vehicles in the U.S. due to faulty instrument panel software that may prevent speed, brake, and tire pressure warnings from displaying.
- Models affected include the Toyota Venza, Highlander, Tacoma, GR Corolla, and select Lexus vehicles.
- NHTSA warns the defect increases crash risk, with Toyota expected to issue a free software update to fix the problem.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the issue stems from an error in the instrument panel’s software that can cause the display to fail during vehicle startup. Without accurate feedback on essential driving information, the defect increases the risk of crashes or injuries.
