BRAKE SYSTEM ISSUES IN TACOMA AND COROLLA CROSS HYBRID
In early 2025, Toyota recalled approximately 106,000 Tacoma 4WD pickup trucks due to potential brake fluid leaks. The rear brake hoses could deteriorate over time, increasing the risk of a crash.
Additionally, over 42,000 2023-2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid vehicles were recalled for a software issue affecting the electronic control unit. This defect can make the brake pedal feel stiff and reduce braking efficiency, creating potential hazards on the road.
HVAC SYSTEM DEFECTS IN ELECTRIC AND HYBRID MODELS
Toyota issued a recall affecting more than 94,000 vehicles, including the Toyota bZ4X, Lexus RZ, and Subaru Solterra. A defect in the HVAC system may cause it to enter a failsafe mode, disabling heating and impairing the defroster. This can reduce windshield visibility and increase the likelihood of accidents. Vehicles manufactured between 2023 and 2025 are included in this recall.
AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CONCERNS
Certain 2021-2025 Toyota Sienna minivans were recalled due to potential airbag deployment issues. Approximately 168,000 vehicles were impacted. The recall ensures that airbag systems function correctly in the event of a collision, reducing the risk of injury to drivers and passengers.
HOW TO CHECK IF YOUR VEHICLE IS AFFECTED
Toyota owners can verify if their vehicles are part of a recall by:
- Using the official Toyota recall lookup tool with their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
- Checking with their local Toyota dealership for guidance on repairs.
- Staying updated with safety notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
Prompt action ensures vehicles are safe to drive and prevents potential accidents.
CONCLUSION
The Toyota recall 2025 demonstrates Toyota’s commitment to safety and proactive vehicle maintenance. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed, check their vehicles, and take necessary action if their car is affected. Staying aware of these recalls is key to protecting yourself, your passengers, and others on the road.
