Toyota Ireland has announced a voluntary recall affecting several models including the Proace, Proace City, and BZ4X. The recall is due to multiple safety concerns, such as software bugs that may cause the multimedia screen and instrument cluster to go black, preventing drivers from accessing critical information like speed and fuel levels. This issue poses a significant risk as it may lead to accidents if drivers continue to operate the vehicles without this essential information.
In addition to display issues, there are concerns regarding the Engine Control Unit's software calibration in certain Proace and Proace Verso vehicles, which could delay the activation of the malfunction indicator lamp. This may allow vehicles to operate with emissions exceeding regulatory limits, further complicating the safety and environmental compliance of these vehicles. Affected vehicles were produced between specific dates, and a total of 1148 vehicles are involved in this particular recall.
The BZ4X model has also been recalled due to a malfunction in the HVAC system that could impair the windshield defroster function, reducing visibility in low temperatures and increasing the risk of crashes. Furthermore, there are recalls for excessive corrosion on suspension components and premature wear of the camshaft chain in certain Proace and Proace City vehicles, which could lead to loss of control while driving.
Toyota Ireland will contact all affected customers directly and advise them to schedule appointments with authorized repairers for necessary repairs or replacements. Customers can also check if their vehicle is affected by using the online VIN checker or by contacting Toyota Ireland's Customer Service.
