JAKARTA - Toyota is recalling about 460.000 vehicles in the United States (US) to fix a software issue that could inadvertently disable the electronic stability control system.
A software glitch could prevent the "vehicle stability control system" from turning on automatically when the car is restarted, according to a statement by the company.
Doing so could disable the system, which uses a computer to individually brake the wheels to help the driver stay in control.
The recall covers the 2020 to 2022 model years in the US and involves Toyota brands including Venza, Mirai, RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime, Sienna HV, Highlander HV, as well as Lexus LS500h, LX600, NX350h and NX450h-plus models.
Customers can check if their vehicle is included in a safety recall by visiting Toyota.com/recall or nhtsa.gov/recalls and entering their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.
"For all vehicles involved, Toyota and Lexus dealers will update the Skid Control ECU software free of charge to customers," the statement read.
Owners of the vehicles involved will be notified by mid-June 2022. Toyota spokesman Aaron Fowles said the update would take about an hour.
