Toyota Corolla (2008 – 2014)

engine fire

06/12/2014

Reason for the recall:

Due to insufficient air flow efficiency in the intake system, oil may accumulate in the intercooler. Under certain driving conditions, the oil may flow into the combustion chamber and might cause engine damage, which may increase the risk of a fire in the engine compartment due to leaked oil.

The recall concerns vehicles manufactured between 2008 and 2014.

The recall affects models Yaris, Auris, Corolla, Verso-S, iQ and Urban Cruiser.

What should an owner do if there's a recall?

Please note that the recall may not apply to all vehicles produced in a given period. If you think your car might be affected, you should immediately contact a Toyota dealer or workshop officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details. You can use our sample request text. After reporting the vehicle's VIN code, you will find out if the defect is present on your car, or if it has already been resolved by the previous owner if the car was purchased second-hand.
