Toyota PH recalls GR Yaris to fix critical safety sensor | Autoindustriya

DTI published a letter from Toyota Motor Philippines regarding a recall (AKA: Special Service Campaign) on certain GR Yaris models. This is due to the hatchback's Millimeter-Wave Sensor which affects certain driver assistance features including the Pre-Collision System (PCS).
The device measures the distance of the car in relation to an obstacle (ex: another vehicle) up ahead. If a collision is likely to happen, then the system will send out an alert to notify the driver. When the person driving does not react to the situation, the Pre-Collision System would interfere and apply the brakes to reduce the impact. In some cases, the system would even bring the car to a complete stop.

Based on the letter, the initialization of the radar sensor may have not been done correctly at the GR Factory in Motomachi, and thus the Pre-Collision System of the GR Yaris would not operate.
