Iconic carmaker is recalling 69,000 motors over faulty display screen that ‘increases risk of a crash'
AN ICONIC carmaker is recalling 69,000 motors over a faulty display screen that increases the risk of a crash. The carmaker is trying to claw back the faulty vehicles which include its popular sedans, hatchbacks and SUV models. 1 Toyota is recalling tens of thousands of cars due to a display error on its interior screens. Impacted vehicles were sold in the Australian market between July 2022 and April 2025. It is understood that not all vehicles sold in this time frame feature the faulty displays. But many, including the Corolla and Camry hybrids, the Kluger Hybrid and the RAV4 hybrid may experience the issue. Toyota has notified its customers that its 12.3 inch display screen on the instrument panel may be blank when the engine is turned on and remain in this state. The screen is crucial for displaying warnings, indicator lights, vehicle gauges and messages. The recall notice said: "Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions." A program update will be required to resolve the issue. Repair of the vehicle will take between one and 2.5 hours depending on the vehicle model. For any involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will be able to update the software free of charge to owners. All UK car dealerships will STOP selling 10,000s of iconic brand's used models impacted by lethal airbag flaw The carmaker will contact all the owners of the affected vehicles to provide further details of the safety recall campaign. Anyone who owns one of the affected vehicles is still permitted to drive the car but they are advised to contact a service provider immediately to ensure the issue doesn't arise. Last month, The Sun reported on the new Toyota motors for 2025 and anyone visiting a dealership will find a huge range of cars ready to hook them. The RAV4 family SUV is a massive seller and returns next year as a plug-in hybrid only. At the end of the year it will relaunch its baby Aygo X as a hybrid instead of pure-petrol. So the hybrid system is still a massive part of Toyota's success. The iconic carmaker is also set to launch a hybrid version of one of their legendary models. Toyota have shared plans for its new electric Land Cruiser, which is set to compete with rival off-road motors. The motor is expected to go into production next year in a bid to satisfy lengthy waiting lists.
