Toyota ProAce (2015 – 2019)

accident fire

20/12/2019

Reason for the recall:

1. The rear brake tube is not tightly connected to the holding clip on the lower suspension arm. As a result, it may become damaged and leak brake fluid, reducing the braking performance of the vehicle and increasing the risk of an accident.

2. The shaft of the parking brake might have been incorrectly manufactured. As a result, the parking brake might not properly function and the vehicle might unintentionally move, increasing the risk of an accident.

3. The fuel tube can move against the ribs of the urea tank. As a result, it may become damaged and leak fuel, which might get ignited, increasing the risk of fire.

4. An insufficient torque might have been applied to the seat belt fixation, seat belt anchor and ground cable bolts. As a result, the seat belt fixation and anchor might become loose, increasing the risk of injuries in the event of an accident or the ground cable might overheat, increasing the risk of fire.

5. The mastic in the front left and right wheel arch panels might be applied incorrectly. As a result, water could filter and reach the airbag module, increasing the risk of accident or injuries in the event of an accident.

The 2016 – 2019 Model year Toyota ProAce vans are affected by this recall.
