2025: Recall of 106,061 defective cars due to brake problems

On February 6, 2025, the Japanese company Toyota announced the recall of more than 100 thousand mid-size Tacoma pickups. These cars have a problem in the braking system, which can increase the risk of road accidents.

Defect is related to design features of brake hoses of rear wheels. Due to the accumulation of dirt during the operation of the vehicle, hose damage may occur, which will provoke a leak of brake fluid. This, in turn, will lead to a decrease in braking efficiency, which in certain conditions can cause an accident. There is no information about the incidents caused by this defect, as well as about the victims as of the recall date.

During the repair work, dealers will replace both rear brake hoses on pickups for free for motorists.

In total, more than 42 thousand copies of the Corolla Cross Hybrid are subject to recall. To solve the problem, Toyota dealers will update the software of the specified control unit.^[1]
