Instrument panel
Last week, Toyota recalled over a million cars, including several Lexus models, due to a potential malfunction of the rear-view camera. This week, another nearly three million cars from both brands, produced between 2022 and 2025, are being recalled due to a potential instrument panel shutdown. This is due to incorrect programming leading to memory overload. This same defect may also affect 8,031 Suzuki Across and Swace vehicles produced between October 2022 and December 2024.
Fire risk
Nissan is recalling 390,595 Qashqai SUVs that were manufactured between May 2021 and October 2024. This is due to the risk of wear to the fuel line caused by friction with surrounding components. This can lead to fuel leakage and fire. If minor wear is identified, a sleeve will be installed at an authorised service centre. If more severe damage is identified, the entire fuel line will be replaced.
Power steering
Suzuki is on the KBA recall list twice this week, with two more models affected. The Vitara and the SX4 S-Cross may misinterpret a fault in the power steering control unit, causing the system to shut down. The Japanese car manufacturer is recalling 15,890 vehicles produced in 2024.
