Almost 70,000 Aussie vehicles recalled by popular car manufacturer
Owners will be contacted by Toyota dealers, but are also encouraged to check the VIN (vehicle identification number) of their vehicles to see if they are affected by the recall. Models in the recall include Camrys, Corollas and RAV4's among others.
What is the reason for the Toyota recall?
Toyota has initiated the recall in vehicles that have a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel that shows information such as warning and indicator lights and vehicle gauges. There is a possibility that the display can be blank when the vehicle starts and will remain in this state.
Although Toyota owners can continue to drive their vehicles, Toyota Australia requests that owners contact their local/preferred Toyota dealership to arrange recall completion.
In the event owners turn on their vehicle and the combination meter remains blank, please contact your local/preferred dealer.

Toyota Drops Impressive Land Cruiser Lease Offer for July
Toyota Drops Impressive Land Cruiser Lease Offer for July originally appeared on Autoblog. The 2025 Toyota Land Cruiser delivers more than you might think While the Land Cruiser might have attracted early ire for being smaller and arguably less opulent than the model it replaced, there are some immediately attractive positives to the SUV. For one, it's still extremely off-road capable, and the new hybrid powertrain ensures less time and money filling up at the pump. A total of 326 horsepower means it can move out of its own way pretty easily, too. Further adding to the allure is the SUV's 6,000-pound max towing capacity and 37.5 cubic feet of cargo space, both of which will likely be more than enough for most customers in the mid-size two-row SUV segment. Toyota Land Cruiser lease offer, July 2025 The most affordable Land Cruiser lease deal for July 2025 is an attractive $489 per month for 36 months with $3,999 due at signing. The lease allows for 10,000 miles per year, which is technically a low-mileage lease, but it may work for some shoppers. The advertised price excludes tax, title, and other local fees, as well as the $650 acquisition fee. More importantly, there is also a $350 disposition fee at the conclusion of the lease, which can sometimes be waived. Furthermore, this lease deal is only available to shoppers in the New York metro area. But, a similar deal exists for Midwest markets like Chicago, where shoppers can get the same terms for $499 per month with just $2,999 due at signing. View the 3 images of this gallery on the original article Other markets have deceptively good lease offers rolling, too. Although the price is higher, a higher mileage allowance and similar money down means these lease deals still deserve careful consideration. Shoppers in the Southwest markets like Phoenix and the Pacific Northwest like Seattle and Portland can enjoy 12,000 miles per year with $3,999 due at signing for $529 and $539 per month, respectively. Markets in the Southeast, specifically the Miami metro, can get the same 12,000-mile/36-month term for $629 per month and $4,628 due at signing. All these numbers are subject to change, and none of them include local taxes, fees, or other additional charges. Check the latest Toyota deals and incentives for yourself before anything else. Want a $0 down lease deal on the Land Cruiser? Want to ride off into the sunset with nothing out of pocket? We don't blame you. By dividing the amount due at signing over the 36 months, we can get a rough estimate of what the monthly payment might look like. For New York metro shoppers, the monthly payment climbs to a dead-even $600 per month. Shoppers in the Midwest get an even better deal with a new payment of around $582 per month. The Mountain states and the Pacific Northwest will now need to make do with a $640 and $650 monthly payment, respectively. Finally, states in the Southeast can walk out the door with zero down and around a $757 monthly payment. View the 2 images of this gallery on the original article Final thoughts If you aren't put off by the Land Cruiser's lack of a third-row seat, now could be a great time to update the family truckster. Cool retro looks and generally good on- and off-road manners make this an easy pick if you're looking for something a little bit more refined than the 4Runner but not quite shopping in Lexus territory. The latest lease offers make this Land Cruiser a little bit more attainable, especially for East Coast shoppers. We say it's a decent buy if you aren't interested in keeping the Land Cruiser for the long haul. *Disclaimer: This article is provided for informational purposes only.

I test drove BYD's latest midsize SUV. It accelerates faster than a Porsche Cayenne Coupe S.
In April, BYD outsold Tesla in Europe for the first time. The Chinese EV giant has a key model in almost every segment, including the Sealion 7. Our reviewer was impressed by the midsize SUV's handling. BYD is on a roll, with a key model in nearly every segment: the Dolphin in compact hatchbacks, the Seal in sedans, the M6 in MPVs, and the Atto 3 in compact SUVs. The lineup reflects a strategy designed to match drivers' needs in nearly every stage of life. Last month, I borrowed a Sealion 7 and spent three days driving it around Singapore to get a feel for the car. The midsize SUV has two variants: Premium and AWD Performance. I test drove the higher-end AWD Performance model, which is priced at 219,000 yuan, or about $30,500. The Sealion 7 was first unveiled at the 2023 Guangzhou Auto Show and made its international debut at the 2024 Paris Motor Show. In the first half of 2025, BYD overtook Toyota to become Singapore's top-selling car brand. By April, it was also outselling Tesla in EV sales across Europe. On the outside After spending three days driving the car around Singapore, I can't find much to complain about the Sealion 7's design. Even the panel gaps and finish are solid — a big step up from how people used to view Chinese cars. Part of BYD's visual success comes down to its design team, led by Wolfgang Egger, who joined BYD in 2017. Egger was the designer behind some of Alfa Romeo's best-looking models. As the more premium Sealion variant, this one features red brake calipers — perhaps a subtle hint at how fast it can go. The less subtle way BYD is shouting about how fast its Sealion 7 AWD Performance is? A "4.5S" badge slapped on the back — signaling that it hits 62 mph from a standstill in just 4.5 seconds. The Porsche Cayenne Coupe S takes 4.7 seconds. Behind the wheel Since we're on the topic of performance — and given that this is the more powerful variant — the risk of losing my license on Singapore's heavily policed roads felt real. Speed limits here top out at just 90 km/h, or about 56 mph. Whenever a car crept up behind me, I was tempted to unleash all 523 bhp and 690 Nm of torque. And funnily enough, it felt like, or maybe I imagined, that every Tesla I passed was daring me to do it. I'll admit it: I may have caved once or twice. But after watching how fast the range dropped whenever I floored it, I decided to drive like a more responsible 40-something. It's worth highlighting how refined the Sealion 7 feels in everyday driving. On the expressway, it cruises comfortably at fast speeds with minimal wind or road noise. Tire noise is slightly noticeable, though — this variant runs on performance-oriented Michelin Pilot Sport EVs, which tend to be louder due to their tread pattern. Still, that hardly matters when you have the standard 12-speaker DynAudio sound system and double-glazed windows. Together, they ensured I could enjoy my playlist without interruption. For the curious: Bruno Mars, The Weeknd, Sam Smith, John Mayer, Stereophonics, and Fuel were part of the mix. The 15.6-inch touchscreen rotates to portrait mode and controls everything from windows and climate to in-car karaoke. When karaoke is activated, the screen displays a QR code that passengers can scan — so drivers don't get distracted by the lyrics. Back in 2008, I reviewed a Chinese SUV at a time when the country was still new to exporting cars. I remember thinking its handling was underwhelming, even questioning how safe it would be in an emergency maneuver. Well, it's now 2025, and it's clear that ride and handling have improved. In this all-wheel-drive variant, I would be confident to take it down winding roads. Steering feedback is reassuring, and stopping power is just as strong. On the inside The seats are comfortable and well-cushioned, offering solid support for long drives. That said, I found the back seats were a bit low for my liking — a matter of personal preference, but worth keeping in mind for taller passengers. The driving position is excellent, with great outward and all-around visibility. All the key controls are within easy reach, and the steering wheel is perfectly sized for a confident grip. If there's one area that could be improved, it's the font size on the driver display. It's slightly too small, especially for those not quite ready for reading glasses, but not far off either. I also found the Driver Attention Warning overly sensitive — it popped up every time I yawned, displaying a coffee icon and suggesting I take a break, which became mildly irritating. I returned the keys to the BYD Sealion 7 feeling genuinely impressed. While I haven't tested the more affordable Premium variant, the extra 42,620 Chinese yuan for the AWD Performance model feels justified. It has stronger performance, larger wheels with better tires, and an all-wheel-drive system that adds both confidence and capability. I drove 223 miles on a full charge and returned the car with 7% battery remaining — about 20 miles of range. That falls slightly short of the brochure's quoted 460 km, or 286 miles, WLTP range, but in real-world conditions, it's still solid for everyday use.
