Toyota recalls Proace and Proace City vehicles due to display failure risk

Toyota Ireland has announced a voluntary recall of multiple vehicle models due to various safety concerns. Affected models include the Proace, Proace City, BZ4X, CHR, Corolla, and others. The recalls address issues such as software bugs that can cause display screens to turn black, which prevents drivers from accessing crucial information like speed and fuel levels. This could lead to an increased risk of accidents if drivers continue to operate the vehicle without this information.

In addition to display issues, some vehicles have been found to have calibration errors in their Engine Control Units, which may delay the activation of malfunction indicator lamps, allowing emissions to exceed regulatory limits. Other concerns include excessive corrosion on suspension components and premature wear of engine parts, both of which could affect vehicle control and safety.

Toyota Ireland is reaching out to affected customers directly by post, advising them to schedule appointments with local Authorized Repairers for necessary repairs or replacements. Consumers can also check if their vehicle is affected by using the online VIN checker or by contacting Toyota Ireland's Customer Service. It is important for owners of the affected models to take action to ensure their vehicle's safety.
