Toyota Australia recalls Supra vehicles due to engine management software

Toyota Australia has today announced that it will initiate a safety recall involving Supra vehicles produced between March 2019 - May 2021. There are 674 vehicles involved in the Australian market.

The subject vehicles have been equipped with an engine management software that, under certain specific engine start conditions, could damage a component that provides braking power assistance.

In this condition, there could be a loss of brake assist and an increase in stopping distance. This can lead to an increased risk of an accident.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will update the Engine Control Unit (ECU) free of charge to vehicle owners.

It is expected that the remedy will take approximately 1-3 hours. However, the Dealer's work schedule may require the owner to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.
