Toyota Ireland is initiating a voluntary recall of specific models of vehicles due to safety concerns. One of the recalls affects certain Proace City vehicles produced between September 29, 2025, and March 1, 2026. A software defect may cause the combination meter screen to remain black when starting the vehicle, which would prevent the display of critical driver information such as speed and warnings, increasing the risk of an accident.
Another recall involves Proace vehicles with a 1.5L engine, produced between October 15, 2025, and November 2, 2026. These vehicles may experience engine failure due to water pump pulley slippage, which can lead to timing belt misalignment and complete engine shutdown, posing a significant safety risk.
Additionally, certain Highlander vehicles manufactured between April 8, 2021, and January 27, 2023, are being recalled due to issues with the second row seat recliner assemblies. A design flaw may prevent the seatback from locking properly during adjustment, which could compromise passenger safety.
Lastly, a recall for certain Proace and Proace City vehicles produced between July 29, 2025, and October 9, 2025, addresses a potential fuel leakage issue from the common rail that could create a fire hazard. Affected customers will be contacted directly by Toyota Ireland and are encouraged to make an appointment with their local Authorized Repairer for necessary repairs or replacements.
