Just last week we wrote about how the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) issued a recall regarding several Daihatsu-made Toyota vehicles.

Said vehicles may have had an issue with the brakes, but now as if adding insult to injury there is another recall advisory for the Avanza and Veloz.

Toyota Avanza and Veloz Side Impact Beam Issue

In a post on their official Facebook page, the DTI posted the following:

“FREE Special Service Campaign for the RH Front Side Impact Beam. This is due to improper welding condition in the side impact beam inside the right front door, there is a possibility that the strength of the welding could be insufficient during a side impact collision, and in the worst case, may not perform as designed, which could cause excessive injury to the vehicle occupant.

Avanza – Production period from November 3 to November 24, 2022

Veloz – Production period from November 3 to November 24, 2022

We kindly request the affected customers to visit and bring your vehicle the nearest Toyota Customer Service for the necessary replacement and service of your units.”
