Every Toyota Urban Cruiser 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.
Title of Recall Rear Door Outside Handle replacement on Urban Cruiser
R/2026/321, launched 31 August 2026, 521 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: During the manufacturing process of the rear outer door handle an insufficient amount of grease may have been applied to components of the internal linkage. As a result corrosion may develop on an internal spring over time. Which may cause it to bind or seize.
Remedy: Replacement of the rear door handles

Defect: Affected vehicles are equipped with a driver’s side Power Window Master Switch (PWMS) containing sliding electrical contact modules.
