2023–2025 Toyota COROLLA CROSS HYBRID SUVs sold in Canada are affected; they can be identified by the model name and model years 2023–2025. The vehicles were recalled because the reverse sound of the pedestrian warning system (acoustic vehicle alerting system, AVAS) may not be loud enough, which could increase the risk of injury and does not meet Canadian minimum sound requirements. Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise taking the vehicle to a dealership to update the AVAS software.

The hazard

What to do
Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the acoustic vehicle alerting system (AVAS) software.
