Toyota Motor Corporation Australia (TMCA) is recalling 9,100 Corolla models to rectify software programming affecting the forward recognition camera.
As of February 20, 2023, approximately 206 of the Toyota vehicles involved are in the control of TMCA and its Dealer network and will be reprogrammed prior to customer delivery.
The vehicles involved are equipped with a Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) 3.0 system, containing a millimetre wave radar sensor and a forward recognition camera to detect objects for certain driver assistance features, including the Pre-Collision System (PCS).
Due to programming of the software in the forward recognition camera, there is a possibility that TSS functions could become inoperative for approximately 4 seconds before rebooting and becoming operational again.
For the vehicles involved, Toyota dealers will update the software free of charge for vehicle owners.
It will require 40 minutes to 1 hour to update the software of the forward recognition camera. However, depending on the Dealer’s work schedule, owners may be required to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.
Toyota Australia will contact owners of involved vehicles to provide details of this recall campaign. Customers are asked to keep their contact details up to date with Toyota so future communications can be received.
Customers with additional questions or concerns are asked to please contact their local/preferred Toyota Dealer in the first instance or the Toyota Service Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366 (Mon-Fri 8.00am-6.00pm AEDT). Please quote the car’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
