Toyota has announced a global recall of more than 655,000 Camry vehicles due to a potential safety issue. The recall was confirmed by the automaker on Tuesday, following an internal investigation. The problem involves a software error that could disable critical safety indicators such as turn signals and emergency hazard lights during startup.
The affected vehicles were sold in multiple regions, with the majority distributed in North America. Toyota has urged owners to contact authorized dealers for further details and to schedule a free inspection. The company has not yet provided an estimated timeline for the repair process.
Separately, Hiroshi Okuda, former chief executive of Toyota, has passed away at the age of 93. He was widely recognized for his role in expanding Toyota’s global presence and modernizing its business practices. Okuda served as president and later chairman of the company during the late 1990s and early 2000s. His leadership is credited with strengthening Toyota’s position in international markets.
The two events, while unrelated, highlight different aspects of Toyota’s operations—one focusing on product safety and the other on corporate leadership.
