Toyota Motor Corp has announced a massive recall of 6.4-million vehicles related to a range of issues from faulty airbags and seat rails to defective windshield wipers.

Toyota SA is yet to confirm how many local vehicles are affected by the recall, and will notify customers. As soon as we have any information from Toyota South Africa, we’ll update this page.

Local models affected by this recall include the facelifted Hilux, Innova MPV and Fortuner SUV and due to a cable in the steering column with electrical connections that may be damaged over time when the wheel is turned. If that damage is severe enough, it could interfere with the driver’s airbag deploying properly.

Also affected in the recall are the previous-generation Yaris models, due to a seat-rail spring fault in which the front seats could potentially slide forward in a crash. Toyota said it is unaware of any crashes, injuries or deaths caused by the problems.

Customers are requested to contact Toyota for additional details on the recall.
