TOKYO:
Toyota is recalling 591,377 vehicles in the US due to an issue with the instrument panel display that does not show critical information, increasing the risk of a crash or injury, the country’s auto safety regulator said today.

The recall covers several models, including Venza, Highlander, Lexus, Tacoma and GR Corolla, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said.

“The instrument panel may fail to display vehicle speed, brake system, and tire pressure warning lights due to an error in the instrument panel software at vehicle startup,” the agency added.
