Toyota New Zealand: Camry Display Failure Recall Controversy
Recall announced
Toyota announced a global recall of about 655,000 Camry vehicles, including 176 in New Zealand, due to a potential fault that can cause the instrument cluster display to go blank at start-up, which may prevent safety indicators such as turn signals, hazard lights and warning messages from functioning. Affected vehicles were produced between December 2023 and July 2026 at plants in the US, Japan and Thailand, and the fix involves free software reprogramming at dealerships.
