Does a recall affect your Toyota Auris?

Not every Toyota Auris is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Toyota Auris recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2009 to 2026

2015 had the most, with 4. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

Fuel may leak / risk of fire

Launched 22 September 2016 DVSA recall R/2016/152 Manufacturer ref. TBA

Defect
The vehicles are equipped with a fuel evaporative emission control unit (canister) assembled to the fuel tank. There is a possibility that a crack could develop on the resin channel for the emission gas flow due to an improper shape of the channel edge at that location. The crack could expand over time and eventually fuel may leak from the crack when the vehicle has a full tank. Fuel or fuel vapour in the presence of an ignition source could increase the risk of a vehicle fire
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the fuel suction plate sub-assembly.

Risk of fire

Launched 1 December 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/206 Manufacturer ref. TBA

Defect
Affected vehicles are equipped with a driver’s side Power Window Master Switch (PWMS) containing sliding electrical contact modules. These modules may not have been incorrectly coated during the manufacturing process. This may cause a short circuit which could cause the switch to overheat and melt
Remedy
Inspect switch and apply coating. If switch indicates signs of malfunction it should be replaced.

Loss of power

Launched 10 August 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/152 Manufacturer ref. BGG34

Defect
The inverter assembly may overheat which will cause warning lamps to illuminate and the vehicle to enter a fail safe mode. Fail safe allows the vehicle to be driven on reduced power to a place of safety. However it is possible for the hybrid system to shut down causing the vehicle to stop which increases the risk of a collision.
Remedy
On affected vehicles reprogramme the Motor Generator and Power Management ECUs.

Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly

Launched 15 June 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/096 Manufacturer ref. BGG23

Defect
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.

Risk of fire

Launched 7 January 2015 DVSA recall R/2014/160

Defect
Oil may accumulate in the turbo charger and in certain circumstances flow into the combustion chamber. This may cause engine damage. In extreme cases oil can be ejected from the engine and if it comes in contact with an ignition source may result in a fire.
Remedy
Depending vehicle diagnosis modify intercooler layout to improve air flow; upgrade ECU software; upgrade turbo charger and/or vacuum pump

Fire may occur

Launched 26 October 2012 DVSA recall R/2012/118

Defect
It is possible moisture or other fluids may enter the drivers window and contaminate the main power window switch. If this occurs and the switch is damaged it could overheat and cause it to melt and/or smoke. If this situation is not identified it could result in a vehicle fire.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles and check the switch. If the switch is not damaged a waterproof cover will be fitted. If the switch is damaged it will be replaced and a waterproof cover will be fitted.

Rear suspension arm may separate

Launched 12 September 2012 DVSA recall R/2012/085

Defect
If the rear suspension arm is adjusted as part of a wheel alignment or other repairs whilst in service it is possible that backlash can occur. This can allow corrosion to develop and cause the threads to deteriorate. Ultimately this could result in failure of the arm with a resultant loss of control of the vehicle.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to check the torque on the arm. Where necessary the arm will be replaced.

2010 1 recall

Accelerator pedal may fail to return to idle

Launched 6 February 2010 DVSA recall R/2010/010

Defect
It has been identified that on affected vehicles condensation resulting from cold-weather use of the heater or other causes may form on the worn surface of a component within the throttle pedal assembly known as the friction device. If this occurs there is a possibility that in the worst case the accelerator pedal may return slowly or does not return to the engine idle position.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have a precision-cut steel reinforcing bar fitted into the accelerator pedal assembly which will create a space in order to reduce the surface tension between the friction device and a component referred to as the pedal arm. The subject bar also strengthens the reaction force of the spring that returns the accelerator pedal to it's non-pressed position.

2009 1 recall

Rear brake calipers may detach

Launched 28 January 2009 DVSA recall R/2008/189

Defect
It has been identified that the rear brake caliper retaining bolts may become loose due to their being tightened to an insufficient torque.This would in the first instance; result in an unusual noise and in the worst case detachment of the caliper which may result in the breakage of the brake disc.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the near and offside brake caliper retaining bolts replaced.

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Toyota Auris. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
