Toyota reported two separate safety recalls affecting approximately 147,000 vehicles combined: one involving possible second-row seatbelt damage in certain Toyota Camry and Lexus models, and another involving possible rear-brake problems in certain four-wheel-drive Toyota Tacoma trucks. Those rounded totals do not mean every vehicle of the listed model years is affected. Check your vehicle’s VIN or license plate with Toyota or NHTSA to confirm eligibility.

What the two Toyota recalls involve

The reported total of about 147,000 combines two campaigns with different vehicles, components and hazards. MotorBiscuit reported approximately 41,000 vehicles in the seatbelt campaign and approximately 106,000 in the Tacoma brake campaign; these are rounded secondary-source figures, not verified exact VIN counts or geographic totals. MotorBiscuit’s report does not establish exact counts for either campaign.

Campaign Vehicles reported Concern Potential hazard
Second-row seatbelt Certain 2025 Toyota Camry and Lexus NX vehicles, and certain 2024 and 2025 Lexus RX vehicles Possible damage to second-row seatbelt components, with the reported concern focused on use of the center seatbelt A damaged component could affect the seatbelt’s ability to protect an occupant
Tacoma rear brakes Certain model-year 2024 and 2025 Tacoma 4WD trucks fitted with 17-inch wheels and 16-inch brakes Mud and dirt may build up inside the rear wheels during certain off-road operation, potentially causing a brake-fluid leak Reduced braking performance

The vehicle descriptions and defect summaries above reflect secondary reporting; they are not a substitute for the official VIN-specific recall result or campaign instructions.

Which vehicles may be affected?

Camry and Lexus seatbelt campaign

The reported campaign covers certain 2025 Toyota Camry and Lexus NX vehicles, along with certain 2024 and 2025 Lexus RX vehicles. The concern involves second-row seatbelt components and is particularly relevant to an occupant using the second-row center seatbelt. A model name and year alone cannot determine whether a particular vehicle is included.

Tacoma rear-brake campaign

The reported scope is narrower than all 2024 and 2025 Tacomas: it concerns certain four-wheel-drive trucks equipped with 17-inch wheels and 16-inch brakes. Under certain off-road conditions, mud and dirt may accumulate inside the rear wheels; the reported concern is that this could lead to a brake-fluid leak and reduced braking performance.

How to check whether your vehicle is included

  1. Find your vehicle identifier. Toyota’s lookup accepts a 17-digit VIN or a license plate and the state where it was issued. Use Toyota’s recall lookup; it covers Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles intended for sale or sold in the U.S., U.S. territories and Mexico.
  2. Check NHTSA as well, if needed. Enter the VIN in the NHTSA recall search. NHTSA notes that a newly announced recall may not yet show every identified VIN, so check again if the result does not appear and you believe the vehicle may be affected.
  3. Contact a Toyota or Lexus dealer if the vehicle is listed. Ask the dealer about current remedy availability and the instructions for your specific vehicle. The available reporting does not establish the repair procedure or appointment timing for each VIN.

There are limits to what NHTSA’s VIN search displays: it does not show recalls that have already been repaired, some newly announced recalls before all affected VINs are identified, recalls more than 15 years old in most cases, or recalls for international vehicles. NHTSA explains these search limits.

What owners should do if a recall appears

Follow the instructions provided by Toyota, Lexus or the dealer for the specific vehicle. Toyota says that “The specified inspection and/or repair will be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.” Toyota’s recall guidance describes safety recall inspection and/or repair as free to the owner. Do not attempt to diagnose or replace seatbelt or brake components based solely on a general model-year description; use the recall process and dealer guidance.
