Urgent recall for almost 40,000 Toyota vehicles

Dec. 6, 2024
The recall states that the impacted vehicles could have an issue with braking performance.

Toyota has announced a recall for 38,072 examples of the Corolla. This recall affects vehicles built from 2022 to 2024, sedan and hatchback body shapes across Ascent Sport, SX, and ZR model grades. 

The recall notice posted by the Federal Government's Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communication and the Arts states that the impacted vehicles could have an issue with braking performance. 

The issue comes from a software error in the skid control unit, which may require higher pedal focus that could result in increased braking distance under certain conditions. A reduction in braking performance could result in an increased risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.

Affected owners will be contacted by Toyota and are urged to schedule an appointment at their closest dealership to have the software updated for free. Owners can contact the Toyota Recall Assist helpline for more information.
