The problem
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023 Toyota Crown vehicles equipped with rearview and/or frontview cameras. Due to insufficient laser welding, the camera cases may separate, allowing water to leak into the cameras and short circuit. The rearview and front view camera images may not appear on the displays or display a distorted image.
The risk
A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the rearview and frontview cameras as necessary, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed August 9, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TB08 and 24TA08.
