TOYOTA AUSTRALIA RECALLS COROLLA VEHICLES TO REPLACE CVT ASSEMBLY
Toyota Australia has today announced that it will initiate a safety recall on
2,640 Toyota Corolla 2.0L petrol engine vehicles (Model No. MZEA12R) produced
from August 2018 – October 2018. Approximately 1,100 of these vehicles are cu
rrently with Toyota Australia and will be rectified prior to being delivered t
o guests.
This recall is due to a problem with the torque converter in the Continuously
Variable Transmission (CVT) assembly.
There is a possibility that due to a manufacturing error, the blades of the pu
mp impeller in the torque converter may detach, causing damage to the torque c
onverter and potential loss of motive power.
Loss of motive power while driving could increase the risk of crash.
Replacement parts are presently being arranged with anticipated availability i
n Australia in the first half of 2019.
Toyota dealers will remove and replace the CVT and torque converter on all aff
ected vehicles, which will take approximately 10 hours to complete.
This will be carried out free of charge.
There have been no incidents or injuries in Australia as a result of this cond
ition.
For further information, please contact the Toyota recall campaign helpline in
1800 987 366.

Q3. What was the production period of the involved vehicles?
A3. The involved vehicles were produced between August 2018 and October 2018.
Q4. Are Corolla hatchback hybrid models involved in this recall?
A4. No, Corolla hatchback hybrid models use a different transaxle and are not
affected.
Q5. What is the condition?
A5: The vehicles involved are equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmissi
on (CVT) assembly that uses a pump impeller and transmission oil in the torque
converter to transfer engine power from the engine to the transmission. There
is a possibility that, due to an error in the manufacturing process at the fa
cility where the torque converters were assembled, some of the blades of the p
ump impeller in the torque converter may have been inadequately assembled to t
he pump impeller. If the vehicle is frequently operated in higher load conditi
ons, such as under rapid acceleration from a low speed, the blades could detac
h from the pump impeller, leading to damage to the torque converter and potent
ially a loss of motive power. Loss of motive power while driving could increas
e the risk of crash.
SQ. Is a torque converter a unique part to the Direct Shift-CVT?
A: Torque converters in general are used for automatic transmissions (AT) and
other CVTs, however, the affected torque converter in this recall is used in t
he Direct Shift-CVT only.
Q6. Are there any symptoms/warnings before the condition appears in a vehicle?
A6. No. However, if this condition occurs, guests may experience noises from t
he transmission.
Q7. What does the remedy involve?
A7. For all involved vehicles, Toyota Dealers will replace the CVT and torque
converter at no cost.
Q8. What is Toyota going to do?
A8. Toyota Dealers will personally notify owners of affected Toyota vehicles t
o outline the recall.
Expected commencement timing is the first half of 2019.
Toyota Dealers will perform required rectification FREE OF CHARGE to the vehic
le owner.
Q9. How long will the repair take?
A9. Once parts are available, the repair will take approximately 10 hours. How
ever, depending upon the Dealer's work schedule, it may be necessary to make y
our vehicle available for a longer period.
Q10. Does this condition affect other Toyota models?
A10. No other Toyota models in the Australian market and involved in this camp
aign.
Q11. Globally this recall affects C-HR models, is the C-HR affected in Austral
ia?
A11. The C-HR vehicles in Australia are not involved since they are not equipp
ed with the Direct Shift-CVT and therefore do not use the affected torque conv
erter.
Q12. What if an owner has additional questions or concerns?
A12. Owners with additional questions or concerns are asked to please contact
their local Toyota Dealer in the first instance or the Toyota recall campaign
helpline on 1800 987 366. Please quote your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Nu
mber (VIN).
Q13. Where can I find my VIN?
A13. For information on how to find the VIN position specific to your vehicle,
please search "vehicle identification number" in the alphabetical index at th
e rear of your Owner's Manual.
