“I own a 2023 Toyota RAV4 XSE that currently has an active safety recall related to the instrument cluster/speedometer display going blank. My vehicle is experiencing this issue — the speedometer/instrument screen has gone completely blank, preventing me from seeing my speed, warning lights, or critical vehicle information while driving. I contacted my Toyota dealership and was informed that this is a known recall issue and that I should contact Toyota Customer Care. …”

NHTSA complaint #11716664, filed 2026-02

“The dashboard screen (which shows all data, including speed, gas, charge, etc) has been completely blank/black regularly and will stay that way for days. There is no way to know how fast we are going, how much charge the car has, if there are engine issues, etc. This has been happening for a few months now. The car has not yet been to the dealer to be seen but will be soon. I found many reports of this same thing in the same models and years on reddit and other places on the internet.”

NHTSA complaint #11712674, filed 2026-01

“I am reporting an unresolved safety defect involving the 12.3-inch instrument panel display on my Toyota RAV4 Prime, which is the subject of NHTSA Recall 25V595 (Manufacturer Recall 25TB08). The defect affects the LED digital display that provides critical driver information, including vehicle speed, warning indicators, and operating status. Initially, the display would intermittently go blank at startup and sometimes return during the drive. However, the condition has progressively worsened. …”

NHTSA complaint #11709290, filed 2026-01

“The 12.3-inch display of the instrument panel went blank when I was driving and away from home. Operating the vehicle with this display blank resulted in usafe diriving conditions including inability to see speed, gas tank status, charge status and all malfunction indicators. Since the malfunction occured while driving, I was at an increased risk of a crash or an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash. I had to drive home and then later to the dealership with this malfunction occuring.”

NHTSA complaint #11729645, filed 2026-04

“The digital instrument panel in front of the driver is blank and will not turn on. This happens intermittently at start up for up to an hour after starting the car. This causes the driver to not see alerts/warnings, current speed, tire pressure, gas gauge levels, etc. When contacting two Toyota dealerships and Toyota corporate, I was told that there is no remedy and that I essentially cannot do anything until they find a remedy. Toyota has left me with an undrivable car with no solution to the problem.”
