Combination Meter Reprogramming on Multiple Models
For certain vehicles equipped with the combination meter system (where various information is displayed) that due to an improper programming of the combination meter unnecessarily repetitive data is written to a memory device. This may cause the memory device to deteriorate and the monitor to not display during the meter at start up and remain in this state permanently.
Reprogram or replace the combination meter.

High-Pressure Fuel Pump replacement on multiple models
For certain vehicles that were affected by a previous campaign announced in October 2023 for high-pressure fuel pump a further check is required to confirm if the correct pump is fitted.
A check of the high-pressure fuel pump and replace if necessary.
Brake actuator Skid control ECU reprogram on Certain Toyota Corolla 24SD-146
For certain vehicles there is an issue involving the skid control software of the skid control Electronic Control Unit (ECU) where a hard brake pedal feel cannot be ruled out.
The remedy for the concern will be to reprogram the Brake Actuator (Skid control ECU)
Affected vehicles are fitted with a high-pressure fuel pump which over time could develop a crack which could lead to a fuel leak and a risk of a vehicle fire.

Check and replace high pressure fuel pump if necessary.�
On affected vehicles there is a possibility that the DCM may not complete the shutdown process within a specific period of time when the ignition is turned off causing the DCM to not restart at the next ignition cycle and making the e-Call function unavailable. As a result the vehicles do not comply with relevant regulations.

As a result the vehicles do not comply with relevant regulations.
The software of the DCM (Data Communication Module) will be updated via an Over the Air (OTA) wireless update.
THE EMERGENCY CALLING SYSTEM (eCall) MAY NOT FUNCTION WHEN REQUIRED
The emergency calling system (eCall) may not function when required.
Inspect the emergency calling system and update DCM software. If the DCM is found to be damaged replace it with updated software.
THE INSIDE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP MAY BE WORN OR DAMAGED OVER TIME DURING OPERATION
The inside of the high-pressure fuel pump may be worn or damaged over time during operation.
Inspect* and if necessary replace the high-pressure fuel pump. (*Based on engine variant and/or pump manufacturer/pump serial number.)
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION COOLER COULD DEVELOP AN INTERNAL COOLANT LEAK
A possibility that the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cooler could develop an internal coolant leak
Replace the EGR cooler in all involved vehicles and if necessary replace the inlet manifold.
A POSSIBILITY THAT A BOLT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TORQUED CORRECTLY
A possibility that a bolt of the brake pedal bracket may not have been torqued correctly.
Tighten the bolt of the brake pedal bracket to the appropriate torque.
THE PANORAMIC GLASS ROOF DEFLECTOR MAY NOT BE SECURED CORRECTLY
The panoramic roof deflector may not be secured correctly.
Inspect and repair the panoramic roof deflector as necessary.
THE EMERGENCY CALLING SYSTEM MAY NOT BE ENABLED
There is a possibility that the emergency calling system has not been activated.
Inspect and activate the emergency call system if necessary.
A POTENTIAL CRACK COULD DEVELOP IN THE FUEL EVAPORATIVE EMISSION CONTROL UNIT MOUNTED IN THE FUEL TANK
Possible fuel leak from fuel tank.
Replace the fuel tank emission control Canister.
AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INTERNAL SHORTING
Possible inadvertent air bag deployment.
Replace the airbag sensor assembly.
FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATORS CONTAINING DEGRADED PROPELLANT MAY RESULT IN AN INFLATOR RUPTURE
Passenger air bag may cause injury if activated.
Replace affected air bag assembly.
REPLACEMENT AIRBAG INFLATOR INSTALLED IN AN INCORRECT ORIENTATION
Affected vehicles received a recall remedy in which the replacement inflator may have been installed in an incorrect orientation.This may prevent the front passenger air bag from inflating as intended during deployment as designed.
Affected vehicles will have the inflator checked and corrected if it is necessary.
AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE
It has been identified that vehicles equipped with a single stage inflator driver�s front air bag then there is a possibility that the density of the propellant in the inflator could be reduced over time from the effects of high temperature cycling and moisture within the propellant and its sealed container. This may cause the propellant to degrade which if this occurs then the inflator could rupture in the event of the deployment of the driver�s front air bag.
Recall all affected vehicle to replace the driver's front air bag.
DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE
It has been identified that in the subject vehicles there is a possibility the container of the inflator of the driver�s side may rupture. Toyota has not been able to establish the cause of the failure and is conducting a safety recall to recover the relevant parts to enable them to investigate the cause of the failure.
Recall the affected vehicles to replace the driver's side airbag inflator.
RISK OF FIRE
Affected vehicles are equipped with a driver�s side Power Window Master Switch (PWMS) containing sliding electrical contact modules. These modules may not have been incorrectly coated during the manufacturing process. This may cause a short circuit which could cause the switch to overheat and melt
Inspect switch and apply coating. If switch indicates signs of malfunction it should be replaced.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.
RISK OF FIRE
Oil may accumulate in the turbo charger and in certain circumstances flow into the combustion chamber. This may cause engine damage. In extreme cases oil can be ejected from the engine and if it comes in contact with an ignition source may result in a fire.
Depending vehicle diagnosis modify intercooler layout to improve air flow; upgrade ECU software; upgrade turbo charger and/or vacuum pump
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.
LOSS OF STEERING
It is possible that the splines of the extension shaft on vehicles equipped with Electric Motor assisted Power Steering (EMPS) may not have received the correct hardness treatment. This can cause the spline to distort and wear and eventually result in loss of steering.
Recall affected vehicles check and if necessary replace the shaft.
STEERING MAY FAIL
It is possible that the connections at the intermediate shaft and sliding yoke of the steering column may become loose and if the symptoms are ignored steering control can be lost.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering intermediate shaft. In addition inspect the sliding yoke and intermediate shaft extension and replace if necessary. This recall is staggered starting with Prius and Corrolla. Avensis customer letters will be sent out over the next three months
AIRBAGS MAY NOT INFLATE DURING A COLLISION
Due to improper assembly of the airbag inflator used in the side airbag curtain shield airbag and knee airbag systems the subject airbags may not fully inflate during a collision resulting in an increased risk of injury to the vehicle's occupants.
Recalled vehicles will have the subject airbags replaced.
