If you own a 2022 to 2025 Toyota Tundra — including the hybrid models — there’s a recall you should know about. It involves a defect in the reverse light system that could leave you backing up in the dark, quite literally.

This issue affects around 443,000 vehicles, and while it might seem minor at first glance, it raises both safety and legal concerns for California drivers.

What’s the problem?

Toyota found that moisture can get into the reverse light assemblies, which can cause the lights to fail unexpectedly. That’s bad news if you rely on your lights to safely navigate out of a driveway, a parking spot, or a tight alley at night.

Even worse, Toyota says the problem may also point to corrosion in the wiring, which could lead to other electrical issues down the road.

What’s being done?

Repairs are expected to begin in mid-July 2025, and Toyota plans to replace the reverse lamp assemblies and check for corroded wiring. Until then, owners are left waiting — and possibly driving a truck that isn’t fully safe.

Lemon Law and why it matters

In California, the Lemon Law protects you when your vehicle has a defect that:

  • Affects safety or drivability
  • Repeatedly hasn’t been fixed
  • Or causes your vehicle to be out of service for an extended period

If your Tundra has already had issues with the reverse lights — especially if you’ve brought it in more than once — you might have a strong case. The same is true if your truck ends up sitting in the dealership for weeks waiting for parts this summer.

What to do:

  • Make sure you have a copy of any previous service records involving the lighting system.
  • Once repairs are available, get them done — and ask for detailed paperwork showing exactly what was replaced.
  • If your vehicle has been unreliable or unsafe due to this issue (or others), it’s worth talking to someone about your Lemon Law rights.

You shouldn’t have to wait months to feel safe in your truck. And you definitely shouldn’t have to accept defective parts in a vehicle you paid good money for.

After leasing his 2012 Toyota Camry in December 2011, the owner began experiencing problems with several systems in his vehicle. The electronics were unreliable and glitchy, the dashboard warning lights would remain on, and the speedometer gave inaccurate readings. He also experienced repeated airbag problems despite having repairs done under two separate recalls. (Recall 13V-442: A short circuit within the system could cause the airbags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy; Recall 13V-014: The front passenger airbags may not deploy or may deploy inappropriately for the passenger’s size and position due to an incorrect calibration of the occupant sensing system.)
