Toyota Australia is expanding a safety recall announced on March 4, 2020.

The additional models involve 26,367 Camry (incl. hybrid), Corolla, Hiace, Kluger and HiLux and LandCruiser 200 vehicles produced between July 2017 and December 2019 (inclusive).

The involved vehicles are equipped with a fuel pump which may stop operating.

If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may display on the instrument panel, and the engine may not run smoothly. This can result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will replace the fuel pump with an improved one free of charge to owners.

Depending on the vehicle, it is expected that it will take approximately 2-4 hours to replace the fuel pump. However, based on the dealer’s work schedule, it may be necessary for the owner to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.

Toyota Australia will provide all owners of involved vehicles details of this safety recall campaign by SMS, email and mail to their last known address.

To update contact details, please call the Toyota Recall Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366 (Monday to Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm AEDT) or visit www.toyota.com.au/recalls-update-my-details

Owners with additional questions or concerns are asked to please contact their local/preferred Toyota dealer in the first instance or the Toyota recall campaign helpline on 1800 987 366 (Mon-Fri 8:00am to 6:00pm AEDT).

Please quote your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). VIN number location varies by model. For information on how to find the VIN position specific to your vehicle, please search “vehicle identification number” in the alphabetical index at the rear of your Owner’s Manual.
