US recall leads to “customer service exercise” for Toyota Tundra in Australia

Toyota Australia conducts a so-called “customer service exercise”. Tundra – its answer to the Ram 1500, the Ford F-150 and the Chevrolet Silverado – to correct a possibly defective panoramic camera in 1210 examples of the full-size pickup truck.

The corrective action affects both locally sold versions of the Tundra – the Limited And platinum – and refers to the same issue that saw 162,000 Tundras recalled in the US last week.

Toyota says affected vehicles remain drivable as the potential failure is not considered a safety issue and is therefore not the subject of a nationwide product safety recall in Australia.

Instead, the service exercise is essentially a voluntary recall by the Japanese automaker, which does not appear on the Australian government’s vehicle recall website.

Most commonly referred to as a “service campaign,” the same process is referred to differently by different car manufacturers – for example, “Field Service Action” in Ford Australia’s terminology.

“The Park Assist ECU (Electronic Control Unit) may become stuck in the camera view or display a black image after a camera view change request. If this occurs and the vehicle is subsequently placed in reverse, the reversing image may not be displayed,” Toyota Australia said in a statement on the matter.
