Toyota Just Launched the New Hilux—Now It’s Being Recalled

Built Tough, Wired WrongToyota debuted the next-generation Hilux late last year with several updates, including a switch to electric power steering (EPS), which enables lighter low-speed operation while supporting more advanced driver-assistance features. Just months later, the model is being recalled due to an issue linked to the EPS system.According to Toyota Australia, approximately 13,390 ninth-gen Hilux units fitted with a Toyota Genuine Accessory bull bar or nudge bar with a light bar may have an incorrectly installed wiring harness. The defect can compromise the ground connection to the EPS module, potentially causing a loss of power steering assistance, especially at low speeds, and increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
