Almost 70,000 Aussie vehicles recalled by popular car manufacturer
Toyota Australia has issued a safety recall for almost 70,000 of its vehicles. The cars were produced between July 2022 and April 2025, although not all vehicles made during that time will have been affected. Owners will be contacted by Toyota dealers, but are also encouraged to check the VIN (vehicle identification number) of their vehicles to see if they are affected by the recall. Models in the recall include Camrys, Corollas and RAV4's among others. What is the reason for the Toyota recall? Toyota has initiated the recall in vehicles that have a 12.3-inch display on the instrument panel that shows information such as warning and indicator lights and vehicle gauges. There is a possibility that the display can be blank when the vehicle starts and will remain in this state. Although Toyota owners can continue to drive their vehicles, Toyota Australia requests that owners contact their local/preferred Toyota dealership to arrange recall completion. In the event owners turn on their vehicle and the combination meter remains blank, please contact your local/preferred dealer.

Toyota Australia will contact all owners of involved vehicles to provide details of this safety recall campaign. Owners are asked to keep their contact details up to date with Toyota so future communications can be received.

Another Ford recall: Over 850,000 vehicles hit with fuel pump error
Ford has recalled more than 850,000 vehicles, due to a fuel pump issue, just days after recalling hundreds of thousands of other vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced the recall on Tuesday, stating some of the Ford vehicles low-pressure fuel pumps may fail. If the pump fails, it could cause the engine to stall while driving, which increases the risk of a crash, the administration warned. The following vehicles are recalled: 2021-2023 Bronco, Explorer, Lincoln Aviator, F-250 SD, F-350 SD, F-450 SD, F-550 SD, 2021-2022 Lincoln Navigator, Mustang, F-150, and 2022 Expedition vehicles. Owners of recalled vehicles will be mailed letters about the safety risk on July 14. They will get a second letter once a 'remedy is available,' the administration said. This recall comes after more than 200,000 Ford vehicles were recalled late last month due to a software defect that can cause the rearview camera to malfunction, increasing the risk of a crash. The administration announced the recall on June 30, warning the rearview camera could display a blank image, reducing the driver's view behind their vehicle. The camera could also stay on after the vehicle is shifted out of reverse, which could distract the driver. The following vehicles were recalled: 2018-2022 Transit Connect, 2019-2020 MKZ, Edge, Continental, F-150, Nautilus, Fusion, 2019-2023 Ranger, Mustang, 2020-2021 EcoSport, Expedition, Navigator, 2020-2022 Escape, F-250 SD, Corsair, 2020-2023 Aviator, Transit, 2020-2024 Explorer, 2021-2024 Bronco Sport, and 2022-2024 Maverick vehicles. Owners will get a letter about the recall mailed on July 28. They can turn their cars into dealers who will update their vehicles' software for free.
