On the 2025 Toyota 4Runner, the 2025 4Runner — the first model year of the new generation, with its full digital instrument panel — is included in NHTSA recall 25V595000. Toyota's stated cause is an error in the instrument panel software at vehicle startup, after which the panel may fail to display vehicle speed, the brake system warning light, and the tire pressure warning light. On a body-on-frame SUV that owners air down, tow with, and take off pavement, losing the tire pressure telltale and the brake system telltale in one shot is the meaningful part, and the missing speed display compounds it. NHTSA states that an instrument panel not showing critical information can increase the risk of a crash or injury. The 591,377 units reported are the campaign-wide total across all affected Toyota and Lexus models.

Common Symptoms

  • Instrument panel fails to display vehicle speed at startup
  • Brake system warning light does not show in the cluster
  • Tire pressure warning light does not show in the cluster

How to Fix

Free. For non-plug-in vehicles like the 2025 4Runner, Toyota updates the instrument panel software over the air; a dealer can apply the update if the OTA does not complete. Owner letters were mailed December 5, 2025, and additional letters are anticipated in May 2026 as this phased recall continues. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your 4Runner is included and whether the update has already been performed, or contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 referencing 25TB08 / 25TA08.
