Toyota Recalls Nearly 70,000 Vehicles Over Display Malfunction Risk
Hey everyone, I wanted to give you an important update about a major vehicle recall that’s making headlines right now — and it involves Toyota. If you or someone you know owns a Toyota manufactured between July 2022 and April 2025, this might concern you directly.
Toyota Australia has officially issued a product safety recall on nearly 70,000 vehicles, and it’s not a small matter. The issue stems from a fault in the 12.3-inch digital display on the instrument panel. This display is pretty important — it shows crucial information like your warning lights, speed, fuel levels, and other driving indicators. The concern is that this display may fail to light up when the car is started. In other words, you could start your car and be driving with no idea of your car’s critical status — which is not just inconvenient, it’s potentially dangerous.

Now, Toyota has clarified that not every car manufactured during that period is affected. The recall includes a wide range of popular models — we’re talking about the Camry Hybrid, Corolla (both hatch and sedan), Corolla Cross, RAV4, GR Yaris, GR Corolla, Kluger, and more, including their hybrid versions. So if you own any of those models, it’s worth checking.
Here’s what owners need to do: first, check your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). That’s the 17-digit code on your vehicle that can confirm if yours is part of this recall. Toyota dealers will be reaching out to customers, but don’t wait to be contacted — you can and should be proactive. If your car is affected, you’ll need to schedule a visit with your local Toyota dealer. The fix involves updating the software for the combination meter, and it will be done completely free of charge. Depending on the model, the update takes about 1 to 2.5 hours.
Even though Toyota says you can continue driving your vehicle, they strongly recommend contacting a dealership as soon as possible — especially if the display remains blank after startup. And if your display is currently blank, get in touch with your dealer immediately.
Toyota is doing its part by notifying all affected customers directly and providing a Recall Campaign Helpline. But it’s also important for all owners to keep their contact information up to date in the Toyota system to ensure they get timely updates.
So, if you’ve got a Toyota that falls within those production years — or know someone who does — don’t ignore this. It’s easy to check, free to fix, and crucial for your safety on the road. Stay alert and stay safe out there.
