The ACCC recall notice advises that vehicles equipped with a Toyota genuine accessory auxiliary battery kit may experience damage to the mounting points on the fender apron.
The damage is caused by vibration when the vehicle is driven on rough roads.
What are the hazards?
This may cause the auxiliary battery assembly to move and interfere with surrounding engine wire harness, causing the wires to become damaged.
This could result in illumination of warning lights and possible engine stall.
Affected Toyota HiLux owners will be contacted by direct mail and are being asked to contact their local Toyota dealership to have the auxiliary battery kit & fender apron inspected and repaired.
