Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the backup camera system does not activate and the driver does not check his/her surroundings while reversing, there is an increased risk of a crash.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2019 RAV4 and RAV4 Hybrid vehicles.
Due to a damaged electrical connector, the back-up camera may not activate when the vehicle is in reverse.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply to Federal Motor Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, “Rearview Mirrors.”
