Gearbox failure triggers recall, Toyota urgently processes 280,000 vehicles in Canada

Toyota Motor Corporation recently launched a large-scale recall program in Canada, involving a total of approximately 280,000 vehicles. The recall is mainly due to the discovery of potential problems with the transmission that may affect the safety performance of the vehicle.

Specifically, affected models include the 2023-2024 Toyota Tundra, Sequoia and Lexus LX 600. Toyota detailed the nature of the problem in a statement: "When the vehicle is moved into neutral, certain parts of the transmission may not immediately disengage, causing engine power to still be transmitted to the wheels in neutral." In this case, if the driver fails to apply the brakes on a flat road, the vehicle may unintentionally drive forward at low speed, thereby increasing the risk of a collision.

It is understood that in order to solve this problem, Toyota and Lexus dealers plan to update the transmission software for free for owners of recalled vehicles. All owners of recalled vehicles are expected to be notified in late April. The number of vehicles affected by this recall is quite large, approximately 28,061 vehicles.

Toyota’s recent recall is not a one-time event. Between December last year and January this year, Toyota announced two vehicle recalls in the United States due to problems with airbag-related devices. These consecutive recalls have undoubtedly had a certain impact on Toyota's brand image and market performance. However, Toyota's proactive actions to address potential safety issues also reflect its emphasis on and commitment to consumer safety.
