Owners of this vehicle were written to on 27 August 2026. The remedy was reworded on 3 September 2026, 7 days later, so the letter described the earlier version. Both versions are shown on this page. Back to the campaign.

CarsMultiverse/What changed

This is an independent copy of the official notice, kept so you can see what changed. CarsMultiverse is not a safety authority: to act on this recall, use the authority’s own version at NHTSA, or the official register for your country (linked at the foot of this page).


Between 3 September 2026, 06:31 UTC and 3 September 2026, 13:16 UTC, the text of the remedy (what the manufacturer will do about it) on campaign 26V203, filed by Toyota, was replaced. The authority publishes one version at a time. This is both.

What changed

20 words were removed and 3 were added.

Removed from the earlier version

Dealers will update the software for the pedestrian warning sounds, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed June 2, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the final remedy is available. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB08 and 26TA08.

The version now published is fingerprinted, and that fingerprint is folded into a single number we publish once a day and cannot quietly recompute. It was fixed before you read this page. Follow the path below and you arrive at the seal we had already published: how the seal works.

If this is your car

The fix itself was reworded. If this recall has already been carried out on your vehicle, it was carried out to whatever the instruction said at the time. If it has not been, book it - the repair is free either way.

A notice being edited is not by itself evidence of anything. Wording is corrected for ordinary reasons as well as significant ones, and we record that it changed without claiming to know why.

How we know

We re-read the wording of every campaign we hold on a rolling cycle and keep a dated copy with a SHA-256 of the text. This page exists because the hash we recorded on 3 September 2026 no longer matched the one we took on 3 September 2026. Nothing here is an interpretation of what the manufacturer meant; it is the difference between two files.

Recall wording is published by NHTSA and is US Government public domain. The dated copies, the comparison and the markings are CarsMultiverse.
