Toyota Australia has today announced that it will initiate a Customer Service Exercise (CSE) for front and rear-view cameras on a range of Toyota Corolla Cross and Mirai vehicles produced between 20th October 2022 – 2nd September 2023. There are approximately 378 vehicles involved in the Australian market.
The subject vehicles are equipped with a front-view camera and a rear-view camera used to capture and display an image of the area in front of and behind the vehicle. Due to insufficient laser welding of the camera case at the supplier during a specific production period, there is a possibility that the camera case may separate when exposed to external stress over time, allowing water to leak into the camera. If this occurs, the circuit inside the camera can short, leading to an inability to display an image of the area in front and/or behind the vehicle.
For the involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will inspect the serial number of the camera and, if necessary, replace it.
For all involved vehicles, inspection will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to complete. If replacement is necessary, it will take approximately 1 to 3.5 hours to complete. Both inspection and repair times will vary depending on the model. However, depending on the Dealer's work schedule, owners may be required to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.
Toyota Australia will contact all owners of involved vehicles to provide details of this CSE campaign. Owners are asked to keep their contact details up to date with Toyota so future communications can be received.
Owners with additional questions or concerns are asked to please contact their local/preferred Toyota Dealer in the first instance or the Toyota Campaign Helpline on 1800 987 366 (Mon-Fri 8.00am-6.00pm AEST). Please quote your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
