Showing 351–375 of 418 recalls.
HORN MAY NOT OPERATE
Due to a none conformity of the steering wheel it is possible that frequent quick steering movements could cause the horn wiring which is internal to the steering wheel to fail and therefore the horn will not function.
Recall the vehicle that are likely to be affected to replace the steering wheel.
PANORAMIC ROOF GLASS MAY DETACH
There is a possibility that the panoramic roof glass might partially peel from the frame due to insufficient adhesion strength of the paint on the panoramic roof frame. In this condition the roof glass might separate from the frame which could lead to wind noise. If the vehicle is continuously operated the panoramic roof glass may detach from the frame.
Inspect and replace if needed.
BODY TRIM MAY CAUSE INJURY
Due to the improper installation of the left A-pillar trim there ia a possibility that the trim may become detached when the curtain shield airbag would deploy during a crash. If this happens the loose garnish could injure the LH seat occupant of the vehicle.
Inspection of the installation and repair if needed.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY COULD BE REDUCED
Due to possible contamination within a brake pipe on right-hand drive vehicles foreign material can potential enter the brake master cylinder and cause damage to the brake seals. This can result in a reduction of braking efficiency and increased brake travel.
Recall all affected vehicles where the brake master cylinder and offending brake pipe will be replaced.
STEERING CONTROL COULD BE AFFECTED
The nut that secures the pinion to the electric power steering system motor shaft may become loose if excessive force is used in full lock manoeuvrers. This could in extreme cases have an affect on the steering operation.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the securing nut.
FUEL MAY LEAK
It is possible that during the manufacturing process the wall thickness of the high pressure supply pipe may have been reduced. If the driving conditions of the vehicle cause fuel pressure fluctuations this could cause cracking and result in a fuel leak. Also due to gasket fatigue and prolonged usage the high pressure fuel pump check valve may be come loose and leak.
Recall all affected vehicles for the replacement of the fuel pipe and fuel pump check valve plus gasket.
ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SENSOR MAY MALFUNCTION
If the vehicle is driven over/on certain types of roadside safety side strips (Rumble Strips) it is possible that the Electric Power Steering (EPS) control unit could incorrectly interpret the signal from the sensor. This could result in the need for the driver to apply extra effort into steering the vehicle under some driving conditions.
Recall all affected vehicles and either reprogramme the EPS control unit or the replacement of the steering column and control unit.
IF DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG MAY ENDANGER PASSENGER
The combustion rate of the airbag propellant may be too fast causing excessive internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment. In an extreme case the inflator casing may rupture leading to a scattering of metal fragments.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
If the vehicle is subject to unusually severe impacts to the front wheel it is possible that the fixing component on the steering shaft can become disengaged. If this occurs and the steering is repeatedly placed on full lock it is possible that over time the steering shaft could become disconnected so resulting in loss of directional control.
Recall affected vehicles to check shaft and relace fixing component with a new design. If the shaft is found to be damaged this will be relaced also.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
It has been identified that on affected vehicles condensation resulting from cold-weather use of the heater or other causes may form on the worn surface of a component within the throttle pedal assembly known as the friction device. If this occurs there is a possibility that in the worst case the accelerator pedal may return slowly or does not return to the engine idle position.
Recalled vehicles will have a precision-cut steel reinforcing bar fitted into the accelerator pedal assembly which will create a space in order to reduce the surface tension between the friction device and a component referred to as the pedal arm. The subject bar also strengthens the reaction force of the spring that returns the accelerator pedal to it's non-pressed position.

TOWING HITCH MAY DETACH
It has been identified thaton certain vehicles equipped with a genuine Toyota towing hitch the hitch installation bolts were over-tightened. In the worst case the bolts may break under certain conditions of usage.
Recalled vehicles will have the hitch installation bolts replaced and tightened to the correct torque.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
It has been identified that the possibility exists that the sound insulator beneath the front seatbelt pretensioner may become damaged by the high temperature gas generated when the device is activated during a collision. In the worst case should the insulator ignite a post-collision fire may ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the sound insulator removed from beneath the centre body pillars.
REAR BRAKE CALIPERS MAY DETACH
It has been identified that the rear brake caliper retaining bolts may become loose due to their being tightened to an insufficient torque.This would in the first instance; result in an unusual noise and in the worst case detachment of the caliper which may result in the breakage of the brake disc.
Recalled vehicles will have the near and offside brake caliper retaining bolts replaced.
SEATING HEADRESTS MAY DETACH & AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY SUFFICIENTLY IN AN IMPACT
It has been identified that the following seat defects may occur a Front and rear seats - the locking performance of the headrest may be insufficient during an impact and may cause ejection of the headrest from the seat back. b Front seats only- The reliability of the side airbag deployment on the front seats may be insufficient during an impact and may not offer the protection intended.
Recalled vehicles will have the following remedial actions performed:-a) The rear seat headrest guide springs and buttons will be replaced.b) The front seat headrest supports will be replaced. c) The front seat back pads and covers will be replaced.
ENGINE MAY STALL
Due to improper moulding of the body of the crankshaft position sensor engine oil may penetrate the seal and enter the sensor wiring connector. In this condition the engine oil within the sensor's wiring connector may expand due to engine heat and could deform the sensor. In the worst case the connector may become disconnected which could cause the engine to stall while driving and restarting would not be possible.
Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft position sensor replaced.

POSSIBLE LOSS OF DRIVE.
Due to insufficient strength of the rear axle drive shaft flange a fracture might develop under certain driving conditions. In the worst case the flange may become detached causing the vehicle to become immobilised.
Recalled vehicles will have the right and left hand rear axle drive shafts replaced.
POSSIBILITY OF TYRE DEFLATION
On certain Avensis vehicles equipped with 16 inch steel wheels due to the shape of the wheel trim there is a possibility that the edge of the wheel trim may interfere with the sidewall of the tyre. Should this occur whilst the vehicle is being driven the wheel trims may rotate which could lead to interference with the tyre valve. In the worst case and if the vehicle is continuously driven in this condition loss of tyre pressure could ensue.
Recalled vehicles will have the steel wheels (standard equipment) replaced with aluminium alloy wheels.
