Does a recall affect your Toyota Verso?

Not every Toyota Verso 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 Verso recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2002 to 2026

2002 had the most, with 2. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

2016 2 recalls

Engine may stall

Launched 7 March 2016 DVSA recall R/2016/013 Manufacturer ref. BGG50

Defect
Under certain conditions condense water in the intake air can corrode the needle bearing housing. Due to corrosion of the bearing housing the sealing between intake air and the electrical actuator circuit of the throttle body might not be water tight anymore. In the condition that water enters in the throttle body actuator circuit the water might cause a throttle body position misreading or short circuit inside the throttle body electrical actuation mechanism. This might trigger the engine to stall while driving.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the throttle body with a newly designed one. In addition the engine wire harness and the engine ECU will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Vehicles affected
2,223 Verso vehicles
Built
2 Jan 2014 to 10 Jan 2015

Loss of power

Launched 7 January 2016 DVSA recall R/2015/225 Manufacturer ref. BGG57

Defect
Internal cluctch pistons may have been incorrectly manufacturerd. This may cause incorrect transmission operation.
Remedy
On affected vehicles inspect clutch opertaion. Depending on out come either replace clutch component or transmission unit.

2014 2 recalls

Fuel may leak

Launched 8 September 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/070

Defect
The resin moulding around the fuel filter water sensor is inadequate. In low temperature environments this can affect the O ring and allow fuel to seep into the sensor. Consequently fuel can then leak out of the sensor through it's breather hole. Additionally maintenance schedules are incomplete.
Remedy
Inspect and replace filter if necessary. Revise maintence information
Vehicles affected
1,009 Verso vehicles
Built
from 2 Jan 2014

Steering wheel may detach

Launched 18 February 2014 DVSA recall R/2014/010

Defect
It is possible that the nut securing the steering wheel was not correctly tightened when the vehicle was assembled. This could lead to abnormal noise and free play at the steering wheel. If these warnings are ignored the nut could eventually come off and the steering wheel could separate from the steering shaft causing loss of steering ability.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the steering wheel securing nut is tightened to the correct torque.
Vehicles affected
871 Verso vehicles
Built
20 May 2013 to 19 Aug 2013

2013 1 recall

Short circuit may cause failure of the power assistance

Launched 14 August 2013 DVSA recall R/2013/078

Defect
It is possible for condensation water droplets to form within the relay in the electric power steering control module. This can cause a short circuit across terminals within the relay. If this occurs and abnormally high voltage is detected by the control module it will shut down the power to the EPS which will coincide with a warning buzzer and light illuminating on the dash. This will result in the loss of power assistance to the steering.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the power control module.

2011 1 recall

Panoramic roof glass may detach

Launched 16 December 2011 DVSA recall R/2011/149 Manufacturer ref. TBA

Defect
There is a possibility that the panoramic roof glass might partially peel from the frame due to insufficient adhesion strength of the paint on the panoramic roof frame. In this condition the roof glass might separate from the frame which could lead to wind noise. If the vehicle is continuously operated the panoramic roof glass may detach from the frame.
Remedy
Inspect and replace if needed.
Vehicles affected
3,205 Verso vehicles
Built
11 Feb 2009 to 3 Mar 2011

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.

2002 2 recalls

Two gears may be selected at the same time

Launched 16 December 2002 DVSA recall R/2002/171

Defect
Transmission output shaft critical dimension may be shorter than the specification. In the worst case this could result in two gears being selected at the same time and cause the gearbox to lock up.
Remedy
Check transmission serial number and replace any gearbox found to be within the affected range.

Rear brake pipe concern

Launched 13 November 2002 DVSA recall R/2002/138 Manufacturer ref. RR60512

Defect
In frequent stop/start conditions in snow and severely cold weather compacted snow/ice may build up on the inner face of the wheel disc. In extreme circumstances the snow/ice may strike and distort the metal pipe that connects to the rear brake cylinder. Impaired braking and a hydraulic fluid leak may result.
Remedy
Fit a modified and re-routed brake pipe.

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Toyota Verso. 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.
