Toyota is recalling more than half a million Camry sedans after identifying a software issue that can cause the driver’s digital display to go blank at startup. The recall affects certain 2025 and 2026 Toyota Camry models and follows a series of similar software-related display recalls by the automaker.
Toyota Camry Recall Affects More Than 508,000 Vehicles
The recall covers 508,000 Toyota Camry vehicles from the 2025 and 2026 model years equipped with the seven-inch digital driver’s display.
According to Toyota, the software issue may cause the display to become blank when the vehicle starts.
“The 7-inch combination meter may become blank at startup,” the automaker said. “This can also deactivate the turn signal and hazard lamps and certain warning buzzer sounds (such as the smart key reminder and the driver/passenger seat belt reminder). This can cause the vehicle not to meet certain federal safety standards.”
If the display goes blank, drivers may lose access to critical vehicle information, including speed, while the turn signals and hazard lights may also be affected.
The affected models are the LE, SE, and Nightshade trims, all of which use the seven-inch digital driver’s display. Camry XLE and XSE models are not included in the recall because they are equipped with a larger 12.3-inch display.
The recall comes as the Toyota Camry remains one of the best-selling vehicles in the United States. Toyota sold nearly 180,000 Camrys during the first half of 2026.
What Toyota Camry Owners Should Do
Toyota said it will begin notifying affected owners by early October 2026.
Owners will be asked to bring their vehicles to an authorized Toyota dealership, where technicians will install a software update at no cost.
The recall had not yet been posted on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website at the time of the announcement. Toyota said owners will be able to check whether their vehicle is included by entering its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the NHTSA website once the recall is published.
Customers seeking additional information can contact Toyota customer support at 1-800-331-4331.
Toyota also noted that if the driver’s display becomes blank, turn signals may not function, creating a potential safety hazard.
Latest Recall Follows Earlier Driver Display Software Issues
The latest action follows several recent Toyota recalls involving digital driver’s displays.
In May, the company recalled approximately 82,000 Land Cruiser, Mirai, Lexus UX, and Lexus GX vehicles because their 12.3-inch driver’s displays could also go blank. That issue was resolved through a software update.
Last year, Toyota recalled 591,000 vehicles equipped with 12.3-inch digital driver’s displays for a similar problem. That recall included several models, including the RAV4 and Camry.
Software Problems Continue to Impact Digital Vehicle Displays
Software-related issues involving digital instrument displays have become an increasing source of vehicle recalls. As automakers continue adopting more digital dashboard technology, software glitches affecting these systems have become more common.
The Toyota Camry recall adds to the company’s recent display-related software actions and provides affected owners with a no-cost software update intended to resolve the issue.
