Toyota is recalling around 655,000 Camry vehicles worldwide after identifying a display fault capable of deactivating safety indicators, including turn signals and hazard lights, during startup.

As reported by The Associated Press, the recall impacts markets in North America, the Middle East, Asia and some other nations.

The global recall spans vehicles produced between December 2023 and July 2026, manufactured across facilities in the US, Japan and Thailand.

Of that total, 508,354 units are 2025-2026 Camry Hybrid models sold in the US, accounting for the bulk of the recalled vehicles, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The US portion of the recall, filed with NHTSA, covers vehicles built between 15 August 2024 and 9 June 2026.

The fault lies in a 7in combination meter running software supplied by Mexico-based Visteon Corporation, according to the filing.

An error in the meter's startup sequence can occur at random, causing the display to go blank, the US authority said.

When this happens, turn signal lamps, hazard lamps and certain warning buzzers are also disabled, including alerts for a key left in the ignition and seatbelt reminders.

Toyota said: “If certain required information is not displayed in the combination meter, if the turn signal/hazard lamps do not function, or if certain warning buzzers do not activate, there can be an increased risk of injury or a crash depending on the specific situation.”

The group first began receiving reports of the fault in July 2024, though recovered parts initially failed to replicate the issue.

Testing carried out on a complete vehicle in June 2026 reproduced the fault in late July 2026, confirming its effect on turn signals, hazard lamps and warning buzzers.

Dealers will update the meter software free of charge.

Toyota’s recall follows similar actions by other automakers in recent weeks.  

Last month, Subaru recalled 541,237 vehicles after an incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating was listed on certification labels during manufacturing.  

In the same month, Ford Motor recalled 565,691 vehicles over a fault in the engine compartment wiring harness that could short circuit and raise fire risk.
