Camera Water Intrusion and Short Circuit
The front-view and/or rearview camera housing may allow water to enter and short-circuit the camera. If the rearview image does not display while backing up, the driver has reduced rear visibility, increasing the risk of striking a pedestrian.
Toyota issued a recall for approximately 13,000 Crown vehicles to replace the affected camera assemblies with updated water-resistant units. Dealers perform the replacement free of charge.
Est. Cost: Covered under recallTransaxle Vibration/Shudder at Low Speeds (Platinum)
Some 2023 Crown Platinum models exhibit a vibration or shudder sensation from the transaxle in Drive and/or Reverse at speeds under 8 mph. The shudder is only present when the internal combustion engine is engaged and is felt through the floorboard and seat.
Toyota issued a TSB to reprogram the Hybrid Vehicle Control ECU and transmission ECU with updated calibration software that improves low-speed engagement feel. In some cases, the transaxle assembly may need replacement.
Est. Cost: $0 under warrantyFalse Crankcase Ventilation DTC
Some 2023 Crown vehicles display a MIL ON condition with DTC P2C9000 (Crankcase Ventilation System - Hose A Disconnected) without any related hoses actually being disconnected. The false code can cause unnecessary dealer visits and driver anxiety.
Toyota issued a TSB for dealers to clear the DTC and reprogram the engine ECU with updated diagnostic software that corrects the false detection logic. No physical repair is needed.
Est. Cost: $0 under warrantyInfotainment Learning Curve and Bugs
The new 12.3-inch multimedia system has a complex interface that many owners find unintuitive. Software bugs include occasional screen freezes, delayed wireless CarPlay connection, and the climate control interface being buried in menus rather than having physical buttons.
Toyota has released software updates that improve system responsiveness and fix connectivity bugs. Familiarize yourself with the system using the digital owner's manual. A hard reset by holding the power button resolves most freezes.
Est. Cost: $0 for software updatesBody/Paint Quality Concerns
Some owners report paint quality issues including thin paint coverage at panel edges, premature stone chips on the hood and front bumper, and inconsistent paint finish between body panels. These are cosmetic concerns on a premium-priced vehicle.
Document paint defects with photos and report them to the dealer promptly for warranty evaluation. Paint protection film (PPF) on high-impact areas like the hood and front bumper can prevent stone chip damage. Toyota may repair or repaint panels under warranty if defects are confirmed.
Est. Cost: $0 under warranty; $500 - $2,000 for PPF installation
