An issue with transmissions has caused Toyota Motor Company to recall several of its most popular vehicles, including its Lexus brand. It is very gratifying that Toyota and Lexus have recalls at this level. The total vehicle count is close to 300,000, reports Fox News. 

The first recall involves 19,000 Mirai's and Lexus LS, LC, and ES, along with Lexus models 2023-2024. North America. According to Toyota, 'Due to a software programming issue, the rearview image may not display within the period of time required by certain U.S. safety regulations after the driver shifts the vehicle into reverse, increasing the risk of a crash while backing the vehicle.'

Toyota and Lexus owners can go to their local dealerships to get the problem addressed.

The company has issued another recall for America's best-selling cars, the Toyota Camry and Hybrid models, involving 4,000 models. Toyota says the two head restraints on sixty percent of the seats may have a poor weld, which could not comply with federal standards.
