  • Owners of recalled cars should receive notice and are entitled to a free repair, while Toyota-focused owner guidance also stresses keeping vehicle firmware and software updated.
  • The recall adds to broader owner-reported GR Corolla issues, including wireless charging glitches, driveline vibration, clutch wear and overheating in the rear AWD coupling under hard driving.
