Every Toyota GT86 recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
DUE TO IMPROPER VALVE TRAIN DESIGN INSIDE THE ENGINE EXCESSIVE STRESS IS GENERATED COMPARED TO THE DESIGN CONDITION
R/2018/305, launched 8 April 2019, 3,505 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Excessive stress may cause the valve spring to fracture.
Remedy: Replace the valve springs with improved components.
POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY BE LOST
R/2016/184, launched 4 October 2016, 4,556 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Under certain conditions the electrical terminal of the wiring harness connected to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) of the EPS slide causes abrasion on the tin-plating layer of the connector. This can cause wear debris to form which can accumulate and become oxidized. Occasionally the driver’s knee may press against the lower cover when entering or exiting the vehicle causing the cover to press against the EPS wiring harness. This contact may result in the connector terminal sliding onto the ‘electrical insulator’ (oxidized accumulation) resulting in electrical contact failure. The EPS ECU then turns on the EPS warning light/sound and steering assist stops.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the EPS ECU and EPS harness.

What to do next
