More than 42,000 Toyota Corolla Cross cars recalled in the US

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the main cause of this recall comes from a software error in the electronic control unit (ECU) that controls the skid control, causing the vehicle to lose brake assist when cornering. The total number of affected vehicles could be up to 51,000 if the North American region is included.

According to the report, Corolla Cross Hybrid models manufactured between June 2022 and September 2024 are the main models affected by this recall. A software error in the ECU controller can disrupt the adjustment of brake fluid pressure, leading to a hard brake pedal or temporary lack of response when cornering. This can increase the stopping distance of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a collision, causing a major safety concern.

The recall is reported to be due to a software error in the electronic control unit (ECU) that controls the skid.

Toyota has quickly come up with a solution by updating the ECU software for affected vehicles free of charge. Owners of the recalled vehicles will receive official notification from Toyota via mail from November 2024.

This is not the first time the Corolla Cross has had safety issues in the US market. Previously, at the end of December 2023, about 12,600 Corolla Cross cars were recalled due to a manufacturing defect that could cause the airbags to not deploy when needed. This has raised many questions about the quality and reliability of this popular car model.

The latest Corolla Cross Hybrid incident marks the third major recall in the U.S. for Toyota in 2024. In May, more than 100,000 Toyota Tundra and Lexus LX vehicles were recalled for engine repairs.

With the continuous recall of vehicles recently, Toyota is facing major challenges in terms of quality and safety. However, the Japanese car company has also shown its efforts in resolving technical issues quickly, to ensure the rights and safety of customers.
