Toyota Motor Corp has issued a recall for 106,061 Tacoma four-wheel drive vehicles in the United States due to a brake fluid leak that poses a heightened risk of crashes. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) flagged the issue, noting that mud and debris buildup could damage the rear brake hoses, causing fluid leaks and compromising braking performance. Affected models include 2024–2025 Tacoma variants, and Toyota dealerships are set to replace the faulty brake hoses at no cost to vehicle owners.

This recall underscores the company’s commitment to safety but also highlights the growing complexity of modern vehicle systems. Toyota’s swift action is intended to prevent potential accidents while maintaining customer trust.

Electrification success: Toyota’s multi-pathway strategy powers record sales

Amid the recall, Toyota marked a significant milestone in its electrification journey. By the end of 2024, Toyota Motor Europe (TME) surpassed six million cumulative electrified vehicle sales, a testament to its pioneering multi-pathway strategy. Globally, Toyota has exceeded 30 million electrified vehicle sales since the launch of the Prius in 1997.

In Europe, electrified vehicles accounted for a record 74% of Toyota’s sales, with 1.2 million vehicles sold in 2024—a 4% year-on-year increase. TME’s efforts to offer hybrid, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and fuel cell vehicles have contributed to a 50% reduction in fleet emissions since 1995.

Toyota’s mission aligns with its Environmental Challenge 2050, aiming for carbon neutrality by 2050. The European market plays a pivotal role, with goals of achieving 100% CO2 reduction in new vehicle sales by 2035.

Investment and Impact: Toyota’s European Footprint

Toyota has invested over €12 billion in its European operations since 1990, directly employing more than 26,000 people. The company operates eight manufacturing plants across the region, producing a diverse lineup of electrified and traditional vehicles.

Currently, over 14.7 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles are on European roads, supported by a network of 2,800 retail outlets. In 2024, Toyota’s European sales reached 1,217,132 units, capturing a 7.1% market share.

Toyota’s innovation extends beyond vehicles to include mobility services through its KINTO brand and zero-emission fuel cell solutions, reinforcing its leadership in sustainable mobility.

Balancing Safety and Sustainability

While the Tacoma recall reflects Toyota’s vigilance in addressing safety concerns, the company’s electrification milestones signal its resilience and forward-thinking strategy. As one of the pioneers of hybrid technology, Toyota continues to lead the global shift toward sustainable mobility.

With its eyes on carbon neutrality, Toyota is not just manufacturing cars but reimagining the future of transportation—one innovation at a time.
