ToyotaRecalls73,528 vehicles Due to Defects

The Prices and Consumer Affairs Division is advising the public that Toyota is recalling 73,528 Corolla Cross Hybrid vehicles from the 2023-2025 model years because the backup pedestrian warning sound may be too quiet, violating federal safety standards. The vehicles may not emit a sufficiently loud pedestrian warning sound when operating in reverse.

This deficiency violates Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 141, which sets minimum sound requirements for hybrid and electric vehicles.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) assigned recall numbers 26TB08 and 26TA08 to the campaign.

Dealers will provide a free software update to fix the issue, and owners will receive notification letters by late May 2026.

Toyota dealership will install a software update at no cost to correct the pedestrian warning sound.

The division reminds the public that under the Consumer Protection Act, consumers are not required to pay for repairs related to a manufacturer’s safety recall.
