2015-16 Toyota E170 Corolla sedan: airbags could be de-activated
In February 2018, a recall was issued for Toyota E170 Corolla vehicles that were manufactured from 23 June 2015 to 18 January 2016. Over time, insulation layers of the Integrated Circuit (IC) chip within the airbag system could peel and create an open circuit in the IC chip. If this occurred, the airbag warning light would illuminate and the side/curtain and/or front airbags could be de-activated – this increased the risk of occupant injury in the event of a collision. The Toyota E170 Corolla vehicles had VINs in the range MR0 53REH # 05278350 to MR0 53REH # 05287554 (PRA 2018/16585).
2017-19 Toyota E170 Corolla sedan: low-pressure fuel pump may stop working
In April 2020 and November 2020, recall campaigns VGG17 and VGG05 were issued for Toyota E170 Corolla sedans that were manufactured from December 2017 to April 2019. In these vehicles, the low-pressure fuel pump could stop operating – if this occurred, the engine may stall and the vehicle may not restart; alternatively, the engine may not run smoothly. Beyond this, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel. To fix, the low-pressure fuel pump was to be replaced. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see PRA 2020/18242.
