Official recalls: ask before you pay

A recall existing does not mean this car is affected or that it is still outstanding: it depends on the chassis number, the market and the production date.

  1. Ask the seller for the chassis number (VIN): it has 17 characters, appears in the car's documents and can usually also be seen at the base of the windscreen.
  2. Ask an official Mazda dealer, or the brand's official website if it lets you check by chassis number, whether each recall has been done or is still outstanding for that VIN.
  3. Manufacturer recalls are normally carried out free of charge by the official service network. If one is outstanding, ask for it to be done before you close the sale.

How to check it: Check by VIN whether any of the recalls is outstanding (at the dealer or on the DVSA website) and carry out the inspection or replacement it requires.

High-voltage battery

  • Look out for: Hybrid battery cooling maintenance message, warning light with codes P0A80 or P0A7F, a noisy fan and less electric assistance; if ignored, the battery ages faster.

    Ask them to check: Clean or replace the filter and clean the fan before condemning the battery; keep the intake grille clear. At the garage, read the codes and, if needed, install the software Toyota specifies.

Electrical and electronic systems

  • Look out for: After a few days parked, the car will not start (it does not go to “Ready”) because the auxiliary 12 V battery is very low or flat. It mainly affects people who drive few kilometres.

    Ask them to check: Measure and test the 12 V battery. If the car was built before February 2024, ask Toyota to replace it with the new higher-capacity battery (the part number depends on whether the battery was fitted before or after October 2024). In the meantime, make somewhat longer trips or use a battery maintainer if the car stays parked for days.

Engine

  • Look out for: Will not start because the 12 V battery is flat (up to January 2024)

    Ask them to check: Compare your symptom and your car's build date with this list. If they match, tell the workshop and ask them to check that part first before replacing others. The brand or a warranty extension covers some repairs: ask the dealer with the car's details.
