Toyota to recall 70,000 Camry, Corolla, RAV4 vehicles over display screen error

Tens of thousands of cars sold by a massive manufacturer as recently as April will be urgently recalled.

Almost 70,000 Toyota vehicles sold in Australia will be urgently recalled over a potential fault, including thousands of popular sedans, hatchbacks, and SUVs.

Toyota Australia on Tuesday announced it would initiate a recall of about 69,586 vehicles sold in Australia between July 2022 and April 2025.

Not all vehicles sold during the time range are impacted, but include Corolla and Camry hybrids, the Kluger Hybrid, and the RAV4 Hybrid.

The notice stated the vehicles may be impacted by a fault with a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel, which showy as blank when the vehicle is started.

“Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions,” the recall notice stated.

The display would usually show combination metre system information, including warning and indicator lights, vehicles gauges, and messages.

Affected vehicles will require an update to the programming, which was improperly repeatedly writing unnecessary data to the memory of the metre.

As such, the metre would deteriorate earlier then expected, according to the recall notice, and would take between one to 2.5 hours to be fixed.

Owners of affected vehicles were told they could “continue to drive your car” while awaiting the fix, and to contact a dealer or a recall hotline if the error occurred.

The full list of affected vehicles ins available on the Toyota website, including: C-HR Hybrid, Camry Hybrid, Corolla Hatch Hybrid, Corolla Sedan Hybrid, Corolla Hatch petrol, Corolla Sedan petrol, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Corolla Cross petrol, GR Yaris, GR Corolla, Kluger petrol, Kluger Hybrid, RAV4 petrol, and RAV4 Hybrid.
