Summary
NHTSA campaign 25V744 (December 2025) affects 2022-2026 Toyota bZ4X, Lexus RZ 450e and 300e/350e, and Subaru Solterra vehicles equipped with the Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) system. A software error may cause the rearview camera to freeze or display a blank screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse, violating Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 111 ('Rear Visibility'). Toyota's number for the bZ4X is 25TB13. Lexus's number is 25LB06. Subaru's number is WRE25.
Timeline
The defect was identified in late 2025 from owner complaints and field testing. Toyota filed campaign 25V744 on December 1, 2025 with NHTSA, with companion campaigns issued by Lexus and Subaru as the same defect affects all three brands sharing the e-TNGA platform. Owner notification letters were mailed January 2, 2026. Toyota told NHTSA the programming error was corrected for vehicles produced after a specific cutoff date — meaning later-2026 production has the corrected software baseline from factory.
Consumer impact
This is the second FMVSS 111 'Rear Visibility' recall on EV platforms in 2025 — the Polestar 2's RP1069 / 25V615 campaign covers the same regulatory standard with a different software architecture, after three failed remedy attempts. The pattern is worth noting: rearview camera software is a federally-regulated safety system, and software-defined vehicle platforms have repeatedly shipped with FMVSS 111-violating implementations. The remedy on 25V744 is a dealer-installed software update — Toyota does not deliver this campaign over-the-air. Verify campaign completion via NHTSA VIN lookup before any used purchase. PVM-equipped vehicles can be identified by the multi-camera display showing a top-down view of the vehicle when shifting into reverse.
Help other owners — file with the regulator
If your vehicle is affected by this defect, filing a complaint with NHTSA, Transport Canada, DVSA, or your regional regulator helps build the data record. Each report contributes to pattern detection that can trigger formal investigations and recalls — protecting other owners of the same vehicle, not just you.
You can file at any time, even if your dealer or manufacturer is already handling repairs. The regulatory complaint is a separate channel that helps every owner of your vehicle.
Campaign codes across affected model years
The manufacturer internal campaign codes and NHTSA campaign numbers we have on file for every affected model year. Multiple codes on a single vehicle reflect successive campaigns — sometimes a new campaign supersedes an earlier repair that did not resolve the issue.
