Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has officially launched a safety recall campaign for select Raize, Avanza, and Veloz models. The recall is due to a brake issue that affects almost 11,000 units combined of the said Toyota models sold in the Philipines.
Toyota Raize
Toyota Philippines shared that the front disc brake cylinder slide pin boot is the reason behind the safety recall for the select Raize, Avanza, and Veloz models. The affected units are those produced between September 2022 to December 2022. Below is a breakdown of the Toyota models affected by the recall.
Raize: 4,345 units produced from September 12, 2022 to December 7, 2022
Avanza: 3,119 units produced from September 12, 2022 to December 11, 2022
Veloz: 3,511 units produced from September 12, 2022 to December 13, 2022
The numbers above show that the Toyota Raize has the most affected units with 4,345 followed by the Veloz and the Avanza. In total, the units affected in this specific recall are 10,975 models comprised of the Raize, Avanza, and Veloz.
Toyota Avanza
Toyota said that the assembly tools at the brake caliper assembly line interfered with the slide pin boots during production, causing damage to the boots. The automaker further explained that if water enters the slide pin boots, it may lead to early wear of the brake pads due to rusting. As such, a recall is necessary to ensure the maximum efficiency of the brake pads.
TMP said that affected vehicle owners will be notified through an official notification letter, and will be invited by authorized Toyota Dealers to replace the front disc brake cylinder slide pin boot and if necessary, replace the brake cylinder mounting.
Toyota Veloz
The said replacement will be performed at No Charge or for free to affected vehicle owners. Customers may also check if the Toyota vehicle is included in any active Service Campaign at its official website.
Customers with vehicles included in the service campaign are highly encouraged to immediately set an appointment with any authorized Toyota dealer to perform the necessary vehicle repairs to prevent problems from occurring.
