Toyota Australia recalls 26,000 LandCruiser 300 Series, RAV4 Hybrid and Kluger vehicles

The fault could cause stability control to switch off without warning, according to the manufacturer.

Toyota Australia has recalled approximately 26,000 of its best-selling cars in Australia, citing a potential software fault.

The affected vehicles are stamped Model Years 2021 and 2022, and comprise the LandCruiser 300 Series four-wheel-drive, RAV4 Hybrid medium SUV, Kluger Hybrid large SUV, and Mirai hydrogen car.

The recall notice says: “Under particular circumstances, a software error may cause the Vehicle Stability Control system (VSC) to not default to the ‘ON’ status when the vehicle is next started.

“These circumstances are: if the VSC switch is manually turned off and the brake pedal is continuously operated between when the vehicle is shut down and then restarted; this may cause  the VSC to not return to the default setting ‘ON’ status at the next ignition cycle.

“This results in a non-compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADR) 88/00.”
