Over 70,000 Toyota vehicles are being pulled back in Canada by the company for inspection.
In a significant development, Toyota Motor Corporation has announced a recall of over 70,000 vehicles in Canada, affecting various models from 2023 to 2025. The recall, which was announced by Transport Canada, is due to a software problem in the combination meter affecting the speedometer, fuel gauge, warning lights, and error symbols in the specified Toyota and Lexus models.
The affected vehicles include the Toyota Venza, Toyota RAV4, Toyota RAV4 Prime, Toyota Camry, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Crown, Toyota Crown Signia, Toyota Grand Highlander, and Toyota GR Corolla for the 2023, 2024, and 2025 models. The recall involves more than a dozen models in total, with certain Lexus models also being affected, although the specific models have not been specified in the provided information.
The software problem could potentially prevent drivers from seeing essential vehicle information, such as speed and fuel levels. As a result, the lack of visibility for warnings, tell-tales, and gauges could increase the risk of a crash, according to Transport Canada.
Owners of the affected vehicles will be notified by mail to update the combination meter software or replace the combination meter, if necessary. Toyota dealerships will perform the necessary updates or replacements free of charge. It is important for owners to respond promptly to the recall notices to ensure the safety and proper functioning of their vehicles.
The affected vehicles are equipped with a 12.3-inch display, which is part of the combination meter in the instrument panel. The recall is a testament to Toyota's commitment to safety and quality, and the company urges owners to take the necessary steps to address the issue as soon as possible.
This recall serves as a reminder for all vehicle owners to stay informed about recalls and to take prompt action when necessary. By doing so, they can help ensure the safety of themselves and others on the road. For more information about this recall, owners can visit Transport Canada's recall website or contact their local Toyota dealership.
