30-Second Straight News (The Truth First)
Heads up, Canadian Toyota owners! Toyota has just announced a major Toyota Canada recall rearview camera fix for over 32,700 vehicles, mainly certain 2023–2025 Tundra and Sequoia models.
The Problem: The issue is a glitch in the Panoramic View Monitor system. Basically, when you put your truck or SUV in reverse, the rearview screen might suddenly go blank. Since Canadian regulations require that image to display when backing up, this is a big safety risk that could lead to a collision.
The Fix: Don’t worry, Toyota is handling it. Owners are being notified by mail, and you can take your vehicle to any Toyota dealer to get a free replacement of the faulty camera harness. The good news is that no crashes or injuries have been reported so far because of this defect. Get that camera fixed up soon!
Flappy Twist Body
Imagine this: you put your Tundra in reverse, expecting a clear view of the garage wall… and instead, your screen goes full “404: Image Not Found.”
Yes, Toyota’s high-tech rearview cameras are pulling a classic “Windows blue screen” moment.
It’s 2025 — cars can park themselves, detect pedestrians, and sometimes even roast you for missing an oil change. But apparently, seeing behind them is still optional.
Social media had its fun too. One X (formerly Twitter) user wrote:
“My Tundra’s camera went black. I thought it was judging my parallel parking.”
Meanwhile, Toyota owners are lining up at service centers like it’s Black Friday — except instead of new TVs, they’re getting new cables.
And don’t worry — Toyota assures us the fix will be quick. Translation: “We’ll fix your car once we find the cable engineer who left for Tesla last summer.”
Affected Models and Why It Matters
This recall primarily hits:
- 2023–2025 Toyota Tundra
- 2023–2025 Toyota Sequoia
The issue? A faulty camera wire harness that can cause intermittent signal loss. When this happens, the backup camera display may not show an image — violating Canadian vehicle safety regulations.
No reported injuries, but it’s still a serious visibility concern. Because let’s face it — reversing 6,000 pounds of truck without a camera feels like flying blind with your Spotify playlist as sonar.
