Toyota has announced a recall of 13,390 HiLux pickups manufactured between August 28, 2025, and February 24, 2026. The issue stems from a wiring installation error in vehicles equipped with original safety arches or protective elements with lighting.

Due to incorrect wiring harness installation, the grounding of the electric power steering (EPS) module may be compromised. This can cause the power steering to shut off, increasing steering effort at low speeds and raising the risk of an accident.

Owners are advised to contact official Toyota dealers. Technicians will inspect the vehicles and fix the problem free of charge if needed. According to the company, the repair takes about 30 minutes, though service center workload may extend this time.
