Toyota Recall 2022: These 460,000 Vehicles Need Software Updates

Toyota (TM) has issued a recall for about 460,000 vehicles in the U.S. over a software error that affects the Vehicle Stability Control system.

According to the automaker, the glitch in the software can cause the VSC system not to default to the ON position when the vehicle is started under certain circumstances, which can result in noncompliance with U.S. vehicle regulations.

The Toyota models affected by the recall include certain Venza, Mirai, RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime, Sienna HV, Highlander HV vehicles, as well as Lexus LS500h, LX600, NX350h, and NX450h+ vehicles.

To repair the VSC issue, Toyota and Lexus dealers will update the software of the Skid Control ECU at no charge to affected vehicle owners.

Impacted vehicle owners will be notified of the recall by the middle of June, Toyota said.

Questions about the recall can be directed to the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331 for Toyota vehicles and the Lexus Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-255-3987 for Lexus vehicles.

As of Thursday at 10:12 a.m. ET, shares of Toyota were trading at $169.36, up 92 cents or 0.55%.
