    Component
    Water pump replacement on certain Toyota Proace and Proace City
    Defect
    ​​Vehicles equipped with a 1.5L engine may be subject to engine failure and loss of engine power caused by water pump pulley slippage. This condition may result in timing belt misalignment and engine shutdown. The pulley may detach from the shaft leading to the loss of vehicle components on the roadway and complete loss of engine power increasing the risk of an accident.​
    Remedy
    ​​Engine Water Pump Replacement​

  2. Fuel rail may leak

    Reported February 2, 2026Model years 2025DVSA recall R/2026/017910 vehicles affected

    Fuel may leak from the common rail, creating vapour and allowing fuel to flow towards the hot exhaust, with a risk of a thermal event. The common rail will be checked and replaced if necessary.

    Component
    Potential defect of fuel supply rail on certain Toyota Proace and Proace City
    Defect
    For certain vehicles equipped with diesel engines there is a possibility that you may experience fuel leakage from the common rail. As a result fuel leaking between the nut and the common rail cone may create fuel vapour and fuel flow towards the hot exhaust system with a risk of a thermal event.
    Remedy
    Check and if required replacement of the common rail.

  3. Software bug may black out both displays

    Reported January 12, 2026Model years 2024–2025DVSA recall R/2025/55210,573 vehicles affected

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    In-Vehicle Infotainment ECU software update via OTA on certain Toyota Proace and Proace City
    Defect
    For affected vehicles both displays (the multimedia screen and the instrument cluster) may turn completely black after ignition is turned ON due to a software bug. When this condition occurs the issue is permanent.
    Remedy
    Accept and successfully install an Over the Air (OTA) update.

  4. Tyre pressure warning may be delayed or false

    Reported November 10, 2025Model years 2023–2024DVSA recall R/2025/447196 vehicles affected

    The tyre pressure monitoring system may fail to illuminate its warning light, illuminate it late, or give a false warning. The electronic stability control software calibration will be updated.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    Inconsistent Tyre pressure monitoring system alert on certain Toyota Proace City
    Defect
    For certain vehicles the indirect tyre pressure monitoring within the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) software may result in the warning light not illuminating illuminating with a delay or triggering a false warning.
    Remedy
    Update to the software calibration of the Electronic Stability Control unit (ESC).

  5. Camshaft chain may wear prematurely and break

    Reported August 11, 2025Model years 2018–2023DVSA recall R/2025/259EU Safety Gate SR/02656/255,520 vehicles affected

    Premature camshaft chain wear under high engine speed and load may cause abnormal noise or chain breakage. The chain will be inspected and replaced if required, and the engine control unit software will be updated.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    Engine camshaft chain potential breakage on Certain Toyota Proace City and Proace
    Defect
    For affected vehicles equipped with the 1.5L diesel engine there is a possibility that premature wear of the camshaft chain may occur. Premature wear occurs primarily due to chain design which causes excessive tension in high engine speed and high engine load conditions which can lead to abnormal noise and risk of breakage of the chain.
    Remedy
    Inspection of the camshaft chain replace where required and update the engine ECU software

  6. Battery control unit software may cause loss of drive

    Reported April 14, 2025Model years 2022–2023DVSA recall R/2025/114174 vehicles affected

    Incorrect traction battery control unit software may falsely detect cell voltage or temperature, which could lead to loss of drive. The software will be updated.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    Insufficient Traction battery control unit software on certain Toyota Proace City BEV and Proace BEV
    Defect
    For affected vehicles there is an error in the specific software calibrations of the traction (high voltage) battery control unit. As a consequence a false detection of the battery cell voltage and/or the battery temperature could occur leading to loss of drive.
    Remedy
    Update the software of the traction battery control unit.

  7. Engine software may not switch on emissions warning light

    Reported January 15, 2024Model years 2023DVSA recall R/2023/344EU Safety Gate A12/03072/231,734 vehicles affected

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    On certain vehicles there is an error in the specific software calibration of the Engine Electronic Control Unit. As a consequence the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will not turn ON when the urea consumption (which is part of the exhaust after treatment system) is lower than target threshold.
