The Safety Gate is an alert system, not a recall register: a member state notifies the Commission of a product it considers dangerous, and the alert records that notification. It is not the same administrative act as a national recall, and this page does not treat the two as interchangeable.
Read the alert on the European Commission's own site. This page reproduces the fields the Safety Gate publishes; the Commission's entry is the authority.
Every European alert we hold covers the whole set, and which member states raise most of them. Europe and America sets the European alerts against the American register.
Toyota Auris in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Toyota Auris is named on 18 British notices and 19 Israeli. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The British register
The Israeli register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

Reading this against the source
This page is what the European Safety Gate published in its weekly alert reports, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /the-european-alerts, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Toyota Corolla, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
