For vehicles within the scope of this recall, due to insufficient consideration of the structural design of rectifier module in voltage conversion device (DC-DC converter), when there is manufacturing defect in rectifier module, it may lead to internal short circuit of rectifier module during use, and warning lamp will light up. At the same time, auxiliary battery current continues to flow to the DC-DC converter, causing it to heat up. In extreme cases, there is a risk of vehicle fire and there is a safety hazard.
Toyota's three companies in China said they would replace the improved DC-DC converter free of charge for vehicles within the scope of the recall. At the same time, vehicle owners should suspend the use of external chargers to charge vehicles before recalling them for maintenance.
