Toyota Australia recalls almost 70,000 vehicles including RAV4 Hybrid
Toyota Australia has issued a product safety recall notice involving almost 70,000 late-model vehicles across seven model lines, including the Toyota RAV4, Corolla, Corolla Cross, Camry, CH-R, GR Yaris and Kluger. The problem relates to a potentially faulty digital instrument cluster in certain cars produced between July 2022 and April 2025, totalling 69,586 vehicles (see the full VIN list below) in which the speedo and other vital information may not display. 'The subject vehicles have a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel that shows various information (warning and indicator lights, vehicle gauges, messages, etc),' says Toyota in its recall notice. 'There is a possibility that the display can be blank when the vehicle starts and will remain in this state. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. 'Due to improper programming of the combination meter, unnecessary data is repeatedly written to a memory device in the combination meter when the combination meter operates, causing the memory device to deteriorate earlier than intended. 'If this occurs, the monitor will not be displayed at ignition on and will remain in this state. Driving without speedometer and any warning may result in an increased risk of an accident in certain driving conditions.

Toyota Australia says it will contact all owners of affected vehicles, and that its dealers will update the instrument cluster software in affected vehicles free of charge, in a process that takes one to 2.5 hours depending on the model. 'Depending on the dealer's work schedule, owners may be required to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time,' said Toyota. In the meantime, Toyota says affected vehicles are safe to drive and asks owners with additional questions or concerns to contact their local/preferred Toyota dealer in the first instance, or the Toyota Recall Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366.

2025 MG QS price and specs: Kluger rival wears sub-$50k price tag
UPDATED 18/06/2025 1:30pm: The MG QS is now in Australian showrooms, following introductory pricing being announced and orders being opened on May 14. MG has also confirmed introductory pricing, previously set to end on May 31, has been extended. MG has launched its largest SUV yet in Australia, and its first model to offer three rows of seats Down Under. The MG QS will be the Chinese brand's first direct rival for the popular Toyota Kluger, Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, and undercuts all of them on price. The entry-level front-wheel drive Excite starts at $46,990 drive-away, though MG says this is an introductory offer. This had previously been set to end on May 31, but now there's no end date for this introductory pricing. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. For now at least, though, the MG QS has a drive-away starting price that's around $7000 lower than the base Sorento's, about $11,000 less than the base Santa Fe's, and a whopping $21,000 under the base Kluger's. The all-wheel drive Essence variant is priced at $50,990 drive-away, also for a limited (but unspecified) time only. Unlike the new Jaecoo J8, another recently launched and similarly sized Chinese large SUV, the QS has a third row of seating to allow it to take on the Kluger, Sorento and Santa Fe directly. It features a three-seat second-row bench, with an additional two seats in the rearmost row, for a total of seven seats. The QS is slightly larger than the Kluger, measuring 17mm longer, 37mm wider and 23mm taller on a 65mm longer wheelbase. MG's big new seven-seater is effectively a rebadged RX9 from fellow SAIC Motor Roewe. While the previous-generation model was offered in some markets outside of China as an MG – and the brand has also rebadged the LDV D90 in India as the Gloster – this is the first time MG has offered a three-row SUV in Australia. Pricing Drivetrains and Efficiency Servicing and Warranty The QS is backed by MG's 10-year, 250,000km warranty for private buyers, or seven years and 160,000km for commercial customers. MG has yet to confirm capped-price servicing details for the QS. Safety The MG QS has yet to be tested by ANCAP. Standard safety equipment across the range includes: Adaptive cruise control Autonomous emergency braking Blind-spot monitoring Driver attention monitoring Intelligent Cruise Assist Intelligent Speed Limit Assist Lane-keep assist Rear cross-traffic assist Safe exit warning Tyre pressure monitoring Front, front-side, far-side and curtain airbags Rear parking sensors The Essence adds front parking sensors. Standard Equipment There are two variants in the MG QS lineup. The Excite comes standard with the following equipment: 20-inch alloy wheels in 245/50 R20 tyres T145/80 R18 spare tyre Automatic LED headlights Rain-sensing wipers Power-folding, heated exterior mirrors with memory Power tailgate Panoramic sunroof Electric parking brake Proximity entry with push-button start Normal, Sport, Eco drive modes 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto DAB digital radio Satellite navigation 8-speaker sound system Fabric upholstery 8-way power-adjustable front seats Sliding second-row seats 60/40 split-fold second-row seats with easy entry on right side Microfibre/leather steering wheel Tilt and telescopic steering wheel adjustment 256-colour ambient lighting Woodgrain trim Tri-zone climate control with rear controls, vents in all three rows 1 x front 12V outlet 1 x 12V outlet in boot 12 months' complimentary iSmart access The Essence adds: 21-inch alloy wheels in 255/45 R21 tyres Adaptive suspension Normal, Snow, Off-Road, Sport, Custom, Eco drive modes Automatic high-beam LED front fog lights with static cornering lights Wireless phone charger 12-speaker Bose sound system 5 x USB ports (2 x front, 2 x rear, 1 x third row) 8-way power driver's seat with 4-way power lumbar, memory Heated and ventilated front seats Perforated leather upholstery Colours A black interior is standard for the Excite and Essence, with a Stone Beige interior a $700 option for the Essence only.
