Toyota Recalls Certain 2020-2023 Toyota Highlander, Highlander Hybrid Models

Toyota is conducting a safety recall in the U.S. involving certain 2020-2023 model year Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles. Approximately 751,000 vehicles are involved in this recall.

The affected vehicles have a resin front lower bumper cover assembly with mounting tabs. If there is a minor impact to the lower front bumper cover assembly, the mounting tabs may detach from the vehicle during normal operation. This can cause parts of the assembly to detach, posing a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash or injury for other road users.

To address this issue, Toyota dealers will inspect the upper to lower front bumper cover mounting tabs and slots for damage. If no damage is found, dealers will install retention hardware with an improved design. If damage is found, dealers will replace the upper and/or lower front bumper cover and install retention hardware with an improved design at no cost to the owners.

Affected owners will be notified by Toyota about this issue by late December 2023.

PEUGEOT #CAMOCATCH OPERATION: THE CHALLENGE IS ON

PEUGEOT’s #CamoCatch operation, which involves the general public in the launch of the new E-3008, is now in its final phase: The #CamoCatch Challenge. This summer, PEUGEOT challenges everyone to take photos of the camouflaged E-3008 during its final testing on the open road. Lucky winners will have the opportunity to test drive the new E-3008 themselves.

 

With the new E-3008, PEUGEOT is innovating more than ever. Usually, prototypes are kept confidential and away from the public. However, the new E-3008 is being displayed in full view and involving the general public in its launch.

 

In May, during the initial phase of the operation, PEUGEOT used its social networks to run a vote on the new camouflages intended for the prototypes of the new E-3008.

 

Thousands of votes were received on the brand’s various social networks in June, and three camouflage themes were chosen:

 

  • “Street Art” theme
  • “Optical Art” theme
  • “Prototype” theme

 

These camouflages, selected by the public, were produced in June and applied to the new PEUGEOT E-3008s that will undergo final development tests on European roads this summer.

 

From July 15th to August 15th, the #CamoCatch Challenge invites anyone who comes across one of the camouflaged PEUGEOT E-3008s to take a photo of it, if it’s safe to do so, and share the pictures on their social networks (Facebook and Instagram) with the hashtags #CamoCatch and @PEUGEOT.

 

All camouflaged E-3008s have a QR Code that can be scanned to access the #CamoCatch operation web page. A prize draw will determine the 6 winners who will have an exclusive opportunity to test drive the new E-3008 next year during the press test drives.

 

PEUGEOT has been actively collaborating with young designers and artists since the beginning of 2023. This collaboration, initiated by the brand, has now been extended to an international audience through social media to promote PEUGEOT’s design expertise to as many people as possible.

 

The new PEUGEOT E-3008 will make its public debut in September this year.

Toyota Recalls Certain 2023 Toyota Corolla, Corolla Cross, Highlander, Tacoma, and Lexus RX and 2024 NX Models

PLANO, Texas (July 12, 2023) – Toyota is conducting a safety recall in the U.S. for certain 2023 model year Toyota Corolla, Corolla Cross, Corolla Cross hybrid, Highlander, Highlander hybrid, Tacoma, as well as Lexus RX and RX hybrid and 2024 model year NX and NX hybrid vehicles. This recall affects approximately 110,000 vehicles in the U.S.

This non-compliance with federal motor vehicle safety requirements could increase the risk of injury to the driver.

To address this issue, Toyota and Lexus dealers will inspect the serial number of the spiral cable and, if necessary, replace it with a new cable free of charge for customers. Affected owners will be notified about this recall by early September 2023.
