Toyota Australia recalls almost 70,000 vehicles including RAV4 Hybrid

Toyota Australia has issued a product safety recall notice involving almost 70,000 late-model vehicles across seven model lines, including the Toyota RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Cross, Camry, CH-R, GR Yaris and Kluger.

The problem relates to a potentially faulty digital instrument cluster in certain cars produced between July 2022 and April 2025, totalling 69,586 vehicles (see the full VIN list below) in which the speedo and other vital information may not display.

“The subject vehicles have a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel that shows various information (warning and indicator lights, vehicle gauges, messages, etc),” says Toyota in its recall notice.

“There is a possibility that the display can be blank when the vehicle starts and will remain in this state.

“Due to improper programming of the combination meter, unnecessary data is repeatedly written to a memory device in the combination meter when the combination meter operates, causing the memory device to deteriorate earlier than intended.

“If this occurs, the monitor will not be displayed at ignition on and will remain in this state. Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions.”

Specifically, the recall involves the:

• CH-R Hybrid

• Corolla Hatch (incl. hybrid)
• Corolla Sedan (incl. hybrid)
• Corolla Cross (incl. hybrid)
• GR Corolla
• GR Yaris
• Kluger (incl. hybrid)
• RAV4 (incl. hybrid)

Toyota Australia says it will contact all owners of affected vehicles, and that its dealers will update the instrument cluster software in affected vehicles free of charge, in a process that takes one to 2.5 hours depending on the model.

“Depending on the dealer’s work schedule, owners may be required to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time,” said Toyota.

In the meantime, Toyota says affected vehicles are safe to drive and asks owners with additional questions or concerns to contact their local/preferred Toyota dealer in the first instance, or the Toyota Recall Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366.
