GR86 GR86 - November 2023 Recall

[Nick]

Just happened to spot this, a second recall due - https://www.check-vehicle-recalls.s...icle/make/TOYOTA/model/GR86/year/2022/recalls, not sure which round of cars are affected though, as it's only saying 67 cars

Recall number R/2023/261

Recall date 13-11-2023

Recall type Safety recall

Reason for recall​

Affected vehicles have an inappropriate design of the control circuit of the rear combination lamp and the voltage applied to the LEDs in the rear combination lamp could be reduced in certain circumstances. If this were to occur the rear turn signals and/or the hazard warning flasher may temporarily become inoperable. If the condition is present the driver may notice the turn signal indicator rapidly flashing on the instrument panel when the turn signal switch is turned on but other road users may not realize that the rear turn signal or the hazard warning flasher have been activated potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

How to check if the vehicle is recalled​

Contact the local TOYOTA dealership or manufacturer. You will not need to pay for anything involving the recall.

How the manufacturer will repair​

Replace the rear combination lamps.

Number of affected vehicles​

67

Yeah it was covered here Nick, I've not received any notification so assume all is ok.

Yes, I did read that, but it wasn't actually a recall in the UK then was it?

 

[ZN8]

No you're right it wasn't. Oh well, more info to share

Knowing my dealer, they will claim that my car is not subject to the recall, or they have already done it in 2022, even though it has just been reported on the Gov site...

I received a letter on Friday. My car is affected by this recall.

My car still has an outstanding recall for the recall letter I got at the start of last year, which I was then subsequently told had been carried out prior to the car being delivered.

I'm the same, I've asked them to look into it when it's in for its first service at the weekend.

Finally I had my car at the dealer to replace the rear lights. Took them little bit more than half an hour.
The shiny black plastic parts of the lights are so prone to scratches, they had swirls right out of the box.

In the next days I plan to adjust the gap between lights and the body.
