TOYOTA HI LUX ( 10/08/2011 – 26/11/2011) DEFECT: It is possible that the wrong specification differential unit (Crown Wheel & Pinion) has been installed. Not only can this give an incorrect speedometer reading but if four wheel drive is selected on hard surface/road with low friction then directional control of the vehicle can be affected.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles and inspect differential if found to be the incorrect specification then replace with the correct specification differential.
