What this recall means for you
A damaged electrical connector can keep the backup camera from activating when the vehicle is in reverse. Without the camera view, a driver may not see people, objects or other vehicles behind the car, which increases the risk of a backover or other crash while reversing.
Dealers will inspect the back-up camera system and replace the audio display unit if needed. The repair is free of charge at an authorized Toyota dealer. Owners can also contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 (Toyota recall number K0N). Check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
