Toyota HiAce Recalled For Rear Door Rectification

Toyota has this week recalled its HiAce work van in Australia, due to a potential problem with the rear sliding doors.

The carmaker says the HiAce Crew Van, which is equipped with rear passenger seats, may not comply with some Australian Design Rules (ADRs).

As the distance between the seats and the door can exceed 100mm, passengers may be at risk should the door open whilst the vehicle is moving. Toyota says no incidents have been reported in Australia as a result of this condition. 

The Japanese carmaker will therefore add a new latch system to both driver- and passenger-side rear sliding doors.
