Hundreds of Toyota and Lexus vehicles are being recalled due to a software error that increases the risk of a crash when the vehicle is in reverse.

“The rearview image may not display within the period of time required by certain safety regulations after the driver shifts the vehicle into reverse, increasing the risk of a crash while backing the vehicle,” a Toyota news release says.
