Toyota has announced a recall for 38,072 examples of the Corolla small car.

The recall affects vehicles built from 2022 to 2024, sedan and hatchback body shapes across Ascent Sport, SX and ZR model grades.

The recall notice posted by the Federal Government’s Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts states that the impacted vehicles could have an issue with braking performance.

It is due to a software issue in the skid control unit, which may require higher pedal force that could result in increased braking distance under certain conditions.

The recall notice says a reduction in braking performance could result in an increased risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.

Toyota will contact affected owners and urge them to schedule an appointment at their closest dealership to have the software updated for free.

Owners can contact the Toyota Recall Assist helpline on 1800 987 366 for more information.

The Corolla recall follows just days after the company issued a recall for the Corolla Cross SUV for a potential manufacturer defect that could lead to a loss of steering.
