The recall stems from an issue with fuel pumps on these vehicles. Toyota New Zealand describes the recall as a "precautionary measure", and states that the fuel pumps have the potential to stop working, to display warning lights and messages on the instrument panels of each car, and to leave cars unable to restart.
Toyota New Zealand is currently in the process of contacting owners of each vehicle, to summon them for free-of-charge repairs at their local Toyota store.
