JOHANNESBURG - If you drive a Toyota, it may be worth checking if your vehicle is on the recall list.
The National Consumer Commission (NCC) has announced a safety recall of 518 Toyota vehicles.
The recall relates to a combination meter reprogramming issue affecting certain Toyota RAV4 PHEV, Corolla Cross, Corolla Hatchback, Crown and GR Corolla vehicles.

According to NCC, due to improper programming of the combination meter, unnecessary data may be repeatedly written to a memory device while the meter is operating, causing the memory device to deteriorate earlier than intended.
"Should certain vehicle malfunctions occur while the monitor is not functioning, the driver may fail to notice the relevant warning indicators if they do not see the notification displayed on the centre multimedia screen. Depending on the malfunction, continued driving may increase the risk of an accident," NCC said.
The vehicles were sold through the Toyota dealer network nationwide between 2022 and 2024.
Consumers have been urged to take their vehicles to a Toyota dealership to have the faulty components reprogrammed.
