Toyota recalls 590,000 vehicles for faulty instrument panels

More than 590,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles are being recalled, according to a news release from Toyota posted last week.

Toyota said the recall includes certain models of its RAV4, GR Corolla, 4Runner, Camry and Highlander vehicles, as well as Lexus models LS, RX and TX cars.

The recall for all affected vehicles involves the 12.3-inch display of the cars' instrument panel. Toyota says it could potentially be blank at startup, reducing the ability to see certain malfunction indicators.

Replacements or updates for affected vehicles will be done free of charge, with customers covered by the recall expected to be notified by mid-November, according to Toyota.

In the news release, Toyota did not specify the model years affected by the recall. Impacted model years will likely be released if the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration publishes the recall.
