Toyota Recalls 72,000 Vehicles Due to Fuel Pump Failure

Attention Toyota drivers – time to check the make and model of your vehicle. If you have a new(ish) Kluger, Camry, Corolla, Prado, Land Cruiser or HiLux, there’s a good chance you’ll be getting a letter from Toyota soon.

Toyota recently issued a massive recall of more than 72,000 vehicles due to concerns the fuel pump may be faulty, increasing the risk of an accident on the road.

According to the ACCC,

The fuel pump on affected vehicles may stop operating. If the fuel pump stops working, warning lights and messages may display on the instrument panel, and the engine may not run smoothly. This can result in the vehicle stalling and the vehicle may not be able to be restarted.

A loss of power while driving could increase the risk of an accident and injury or death of the vehicle occupants and other road users.”
