Hundreds of thousands of Toyota and Ford vehicles were recalled earlier in May, which means the cars may need to undergo repairs soon.
According to recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, more than 400,000 Toyota vehicles and over 1 million Ford vehicles could have visibility issues due to respective light and camera issues.
Some Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks were recalled over reverse lighting failures that may impact visibility, according to the May 19 notice.
Several Ford models, including Bronco, Edge and Expedition, may have frozen or missing rearview camera images, the May 9 recall notice says.
Both recall issues impact the drivers’ views from the vehicles, increasing the risk of crash, according to NHTSA.
Is your car included in the recalls? Here’s how to check.
How to check if your call is recalled
Both the NHTSA recall database and USA TODAY’s recall database for car and motor vehicle recalls are regularly updated with the latest status on vehicles, car parts or car accessories.
To check if your car has been affected, car owners can either search their car’s make or model in USA TODAY’s recall database or look it up on NHTSA’s website.
The NHTSA website also has a feature that allows you to search directly using your vehicle’s license plate number or vehicle identification number. The site also provides information about recalled car seats, tires and other equipment.
