Known problems
- Critical usually from 0 mi (0 km)
Brake-booster vacuum check valve may be contaminated (mid-2022 builds)
Symptoms: firmer brake pedal and reduced brake assist if the valve is affected by the wrong lubricant used in production
What to do: Check the VIN on the UK recall checker (or with a dealer elsewhere) and have the campaign done if it is still open. The vacuum check valve on the brake booster is replaced.
- Critical usually from 0 mi (0 km)
Curtain-airbag retaining-strap recall (early 2022 builds)
Symptoms: no visible symptom; incorrectly positioned airbag-module straps can affect how the front part of the curtain airbag deploys in a crash and can loosen interior trim
What to do: Safety campaign covering only a small batch of cars built around March-April 2022. Ask a Toyota dealer to check the VIN for open campaigns; the workshop inspects and corrects the strap position free of charge.
- Worth watching usually from 0 mi (0 km)
Audio head unit can go black, taking the reversing camera and speed-limit assist with it (Dec 2023-Jan 2024 builds)
Symptoms: blank infotainment screen; no rear-camera image when reversing and no speed-limit information for the Intelligent Speed Assistance
What to do: Check the VIN on the UK recall checker (or with a dealer elsewhere) and have the campaign done if it is still open. The head unit is replaced.
- Worth watching usually from 0 mi (0 km)
Wrong brake pedal fitted on early 2022 builds
Symptoms: clutch and brake pedals too close together, so pressing the clutch can also touch the brake, causing unintended braking
What to do: Small campaign for manual cars built about February-April 2022. Have a Toyota dealer check the VIN; a workshop inspects the pedal and replaces it if needed (about 90 minutes).

Manufacturer-declared fuel economy
No manufacturer-declared figures for this model are in the Knowledge Base yet. A figure without the cycle it was measured under is not comparable to anything, so we publish none rather than a number you cannot interpret.
