Toyota HiLux Recalled For Auxiliary Battery Kit – Range Rover | Range Rover Sport Recalled For Front Seatbelt

Toyota has issued a recall in Australia this week for its HiLux workhorse, when fitted with the genuine auxiliary battery kit.

Both 2WD and 4WD HiLux Hi Rider diesel-powered models are included in the recall, sold in Australia between September 2015 and January of this year.

Toyota says an “improper fixing structure of the battery kit to the left hand front fender apron” could be damaged by vibrations when driving on rough roads.

Should this occur, the battery could move sufficiently to make contact with an engine wiring harness. 

Damage to the harness may cause warning lights to appear in the instrument cluster, and in severe cases, the engine may cease to operate.
