Recall wrap: Fire risk for new Toyota HiLux
Recall wrap: Fire risk for new Toyota HiLux
May 25, 2021
Plus almost 3000 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans recalled over braking problem; and Jaguar E-PACE for seat belt issue
Toyota has announced a nationwide recall for almost 700 examples of its high-series, Australian-developed Toyota HiLux Rogue.
Affecting MY20 versions of the premium 4×4 dual-cab ute sold between November 20, 2020, and April 20, 2021, the recall for 683 Toyota HiLux Rogue vehicles relates to the wiring for the cargo roller on the tray.
The Japanese manufacturer says the power wire for the cargo roller may be routed incorrectly and could chafe against the battery clamp post, which in turn could cause the insulation around the wire to become damaged and lead to a short circuit.
