Cameras and Radar for the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma

What 2016–2023 Tacoma owners report about the collision-avoidance, lane and rear-camera systems

Owners have filed 31 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the radar, a camera, or the emergency braking, adaptive cruise or blind-spot system on the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma, and 51 filed under its collision-avoidance, lane and rear-camera systems. Those 31, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2016 Tacoma: 4 complaints
• 2017 Tacoma: 1 complaint
• 2018 Tacoma: 9 complaints
• 2019 Tacoma: 4 complaints
• 2020 Tacoma: 4 complaints
• 2021 Tacoma: 7 complaints
• 2022 Tacoma: 2 complaints
• 2023 Tacoma: none

NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2020 Tacoma owner, NHTSA complaint 11686363: "The contact owns a 2020 Toyota Tacoma. The contact stated that while in reverse, the rearview camera failed to display a centered rearview image. The contact observed that the rearview image was misaligned, potentially compromising the back over prevention system. No warning lights were illuminated."

A 2021 Tacoma owner, NHTSA complaint 11743192: "About a month ago the Blind spot monitoring system failed, dealer said $2500.00 to repair, about 10 days ago, backup sonar parking system failed, dealer cost to repair $2200.00"

Recalls that cover the radar sensor or camera on the 2016–2023 Tacoma

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma whose defect is in the radar sensor or camera. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which radar sensor or camera a 2016–2023 Tacoma takes

Radar sensors and cameras differ by driver-assistance package and trim, and blind-spot units by side. Every one has to be calibrated to the car after it is fitted, which is a separate job from the part. The 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma came with several powertrains, among them 2.7L I4 Automatic RWD and 3.5L V6 Automatic 4WD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
