Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

The contact's son owns a 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid. The contact and her son discovered razor-thin lines across the dashboard on the front passenger’s side air bag. The contact and her son were concerned that the passenger’s side air bag might not operate as intended due to the cracks on the dashboard. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V511000 (Exterior Lighting, Seat Belts, Electrical System). The dealer determined that there were cracks in the dashboard and recommended that the dashboard be replaced. The dealer submitted photos to the manufacturer, and the manufacturer responded that the dashboard was not covered under warranty and the cracks were due to other issues. The manufacturer was notified of the failure by phone. The failure mileage was approximately 5,500.

Driver assistance
Filed Oct 21, 2026

While driving with cruise control engaged, came up behind a truck going slower than I was so pressed the minus (-) on the steering wheel to lower the speed. Usually what happens is the speed will drop 1 MPH for each press. This time (and this is the first time I've seen this happen) instead of slowing down, the car sped up! And the speed kept climbing from 54 to 80 MPH without pause. My foot was nowhere near the accelerator pedal. It was not related to the minus presses which I did maybe 3 times during that speed up sequence. I am positive that I was pressing the (-). I was far enough behind the truck (on a slight hill) that there was no danger but the car's speed kept climbing so I stepped on the brakes which disengaged the cruise control. When I later tried to reengage it, it gave a dash display warning that it couldn't be engaged. I waited ~5 minutes and it did reengage without cycling power.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

T-SB-0021-25 Rev1

ENGINE

Flash reprogramming allows the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) software to be updated without replacing the ECU. Flash calibration updates for specific vehicle models/ECUs are released as field-fix procedures described in individual Service Bulletins. This bulletin details the Global Techstream+ (GTS+) ECU flash reprogramming procedures and outlines use of the Technical Information System (TIS) and the Calibration Update Wizard+ (CUW+). To ensure the correct ECU software is installed, ECUs will require a Security Signature before the ECU will initialize the flash reprogramming sequence. This bulletin also details the process for acquiring a Security Signature from TIS during the GTS+ ECU flash reprogramming process.

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
