The National Consumer Commission (NCC) hereby informs consumers that Toyota South Africa (Pty) Ltd (Toyota) is recalling certain Hino 700 Series trucks, which were made available for sale from 4 February 2025 to 9 November 2025. The recall affects 58 (fifty-eight) trucks.

Toyota informed the NCC that the recall is due to a fuel pump housing that has an inappropriate surface treatment process done during production. Cracks may develop when repeated high load is applied to the supply pump, leading to a fuel leak. The Hino 700 series trucks were sold nationwide.

Owners of these trucks are urged to take this recall seriously and arrange for the necessary inspection and repair at their nearest authorised dealerships. All corrective work relating to this recall will be carried out at no cost to the consumer.

Ends
