For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will replace the compliance label on the vehicle free of charge to vehicle owners.

Toyota Australia will notify all owners of involved vehicles by SMS, email and/or mail to their last known address and phone number. Owners are asked to keep their contact details up to date with Toyota to ensure communications can be received.

Owners with additional questions are asked to please contact their local/preferred Toyota Dealer in the first instance or the Toyota Recall Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366 (Mon-Fri 8:00am-6:00pm AEDT). Please quote your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
