Toyota is recalling about 280,000 pickup trucks and SUVs in America to fix a transmission problem that can let the vehicles creep forward while in neutral.

The issue means “the rearview image may not display within the period of time required by certain US safety regulations after the driver shifts the vehicle into reverse, increasing the risk of a crash while backing the vehicle.” Another 4,000 Camry and Camry Hybrid vehicles are being recalled because of the headrests on rear fold-down seats that “increase the risk of injury during certain collisions.” In another recall in January, Toyota issued an urgent 'do not drive' advisory on 61,000 vehicles fitted with dangerous Takata airbags, which can explode and hurl 'sharp metal fragments' at motorists. Airbags made by Japanese manufacturer Takata have been linked to 30 deaths worldwide, with 26 in the US - including that of Ford owner Hayden Jones Jr. Toyota said Wednesday that certain parts of the vehicles' automatic transmissions may not immediately disengage when shifted into neutral.
