Every Toyota Verso 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.
INCORRECTLY INSTALLED COVERS COULD PREVENT THE SEAT-MOUNTED SIDE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING
R/2019/333, launched 4 November 2019, 3,887 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Auris, C-HR, Prius, Urban Cruiser
Defect: Incorrectly installed covers could prevent the seat-mounted side air bag from deploying properly.
Remedy: Inspect the covers installed on the front seats and replace any incorrectly installed covers
INCORRECT TIGHTENING TORQUE WAS POSSIBLY APPLIED DURING PREVIOUS INJECTOR REMOVAL OR REPLACEMENT
R/2018/378, launched 25 February 2019, 321 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Auris, Avensis, RAV4
Defect: An incorrect tightening torque was applied at the moment of injector re-installation.
Remedy: Check the injector clamp bolt torque and replace the parts if necessary.
AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM COULD BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO INTERNAL SHORTING
R/2018/306, launched 17 December 2018, 131,435 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Avensis, Corolla
Defect: Possible inadvertent air bag deployment.
Remedy: Replace the airbag sensor assembly.
AIRBAG MAY NOT DEPLOY
R/2017/010, launched 5 June 2017, 243 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Avensis
Defect: The subject vehicles are equipped with right front seat side airbags which may not deploy in a collision as intended.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the right front seat side airbags.
ENGINE MAY STALL
R/2016/013, launched 7 March 2016, 2,223 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: Under certain conditions condense water in the intake air can corrode the needle bearing housing. Due to corrosion of the bearing housing the sealing between intake air and the electrical actuator circuit of the throttle body might not be water tight anymore. In the condition that water enters in the throttle body actuator circuit the water might cause a throttle body position misreading or short circuit inside the throttle body electrical actuation mechanism. This might trigger the engine to stall while driving.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the throttle body with a newly designed one. In addition the engine wire harness and the engine ECU will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
LOSS OF POWER
R/2015/225, launched 7 January 2016, 14 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Avensis
Defect: Internal cluctch pistons may have been incorrectly manufacturerd. This may cause incorrect transmission operation.
Remedy: On affected vehicles inspect clutch opertaion. Depending on out come either replace clutch component or transmission unit.
FUEL MAY LEAK
R/2014/070, launched 8 September 2014, 1,009 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: The resin moulding around the fuel filter water sensor is inadequate. In low temperature environments this can affect the O ring and allow fuel to seep into the sensor. Consequently fuel can then leak out of the sensor through it's breather hole. Additionally maintenance schedules are incomplete.
Remedy: Inspect and replace filter if necessary. Revise maintence information
STEERING WHEEL MAY DETACH
R/2014/010, launched 18 February 2014, 871 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: It is possible that the nut securing the steering wheel was not correctly tightened when the vehicle was assembled. This could lead to abnormal noise and free play at the steering wheel. If these warnings are ignored the nut could eventually come off and the steering wheel could separate from the steering shaft causing loss of steering ability.
Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the steering wheel securing nut is tightened to the correct torque.
SHORT CIRCUIT MAY CAUSE FAILURE OF THE POWER ASSISTANCE
R/2013/078, launched 14 August 2013, 5,409 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Yaris
Defect: It is possible for condensation water droplets to form within the relay in the electric power steering control module. This can cause a short circuit across terminals within the relay. If this occurs and abnormally high voltage is detected by the control module it will shut down the power to the EPS which will coincide with a warning buzzer and light illuminating on the dash. This will result in the loss of power assistance to the steering.
Remedy: Recall all affected vehicles and replace the power control module.
PANORAMIC ROOF GLASS MAY DETACH
R/2011/149, launched 16 December 2011, 3,205 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: There is a possibility that the panoramic roof glass might partially peel from the frame due to insufficient adhesion strength of the paint on the panoramic roof frame. In this condition the roof glass might separate from the frame which could lead to wind noise. If the vehicle is continuously operated the panoramic roof glass may detach from the frame.
Remedy: Inspect and replace if needed.
ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
R/2010/010, launched 6 February 2010, 174,426 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Auris, Avensis, Aygo, RAV4, Yaris, iQ
Defect: It has been identified that on affected vehicles condensation resulting from cold-weather use of the heater or other causes may form on the worn surface of a component within the throttle pedal assembly known as the friction device. If this occurs there is a possibility that in the worst case the accelerator pedal may return slowly or does not return to the engine idle position.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have a precision-cut steel reinforcing bar fitted into the accelerator pedal assembly which will create a space in order to reduce the surface tension between the friction device and a component referred to as the pedal arm. The subject bar also strengthens the reaction force of the spring that returns the accelerator pedal to it's non-pressed position.
TWO GEARS MAY BE SELECTED AT THE SAME TIME
R/2002/171, launched 16 December 2002, 50 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Corolla
Defect: Transmission output shaft critical dimension may be shorter than the specification. In the worst case this could result in two gears being selected at the same time and cause the gearbox to lock up.
Remedy: Check transmission serial number and replace any gearbox found to be within the affected range.
REAR BRAKE PIPE CONCERN
R/2002/138, launched 13 November 2002, 49,470 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Yaris
Defect: In frequent stop/start conditions in snow and severely cold weather compacted snow/ice may build up on the inner face of the wheel disc. In extreme circumstances the snow/ice may strike and distort the metal pipe that connects to the rear brake cylinder. Impaired braking and a hydraulic fluid leak may result.
Remedy: Fit a modified and re-routed brake pipe.

What to do next
If you own a Toyota Verso, check its registration on GOV.UK and ask a Toyota dealer whether any recall work is outstanding. If you are buying one, ask the seller for proof the work was done, and run a Motoring Insider history check for finance, write-offs and the MOT history.
