Toyota is recalling more than 440,000 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid pickup trucks in the United States due to a reverse light failure that affects models from 2022-2025.

Toyota has announced a recall affecting over 440,000 vehicles in the U.S., primarily impacting Tundra and Tundra Hybrid pickups manufactured between 2022 and 2025. The recall is due to a defect in the reverse lights, which may fail to illuminate, posing a safety risk.

The recall was initiated after the company identified a potential issue with the lighting system. "The reverse light failure could increase the risk of a crash," stated a Toyota spokesperson. The company is currently working to notify affected owners and will provide a free repair to correct the defect.

This recall follows a series of similar actions by various automakers, highlighting increasing scrutiny over vehicle safety and quality control. Global supply chain issues and accelerated production timelines have been cited as potential contributing factors to these defects. Experts predict that manufacturers will continue to face challenges in maintaining consistent quality standards as the automotive industry transitions to new technologies and electrification. Industry analysts anticipate increased recall activity in the coming years as automakers address both software and hardware-related issues.
