Toyota Recalls 280,000 Vehicles for Transmission Issue

Toyota is recalling 280,000 pickups and SUVs in the U.S. due to a transmission issue that could cause the vehicles to keep moving even when in neutral, posing a crash risk. The affected models include certain Toyota Tundras, Lexus LX 600 vehicles, and some Toyota Sequoias manufactured between 2022 and 2024. Toyota will update the transmission software for impacted customers for free and owners will be notified to bring their cars to a dealer by late April. This comes after previous recalls related to airbag and fire risks.

Toyota Recalls 280K Vehicles for Transmission Issue

Toyota is recalling 280,000 pickup trucks and SUVs in the US due to a safety issue where the transmission may not disengage entirely when in neutral, potentially causing the vehicles to "creep forward." The recall also includes other models due to various safety concerns, such as a software programming issue and problems with head restraints. Additionally, last year, Toyota warned about defective airbags in 1.2 million vehicles, which could fail to deploy as designed due to improperly manufactured sensors.
