According to Chip.de, potential corrosion of the wishbones may occur in the Proace and Proace Verso models. This may lead to breakage of the mounting screws, which in turn may result in unpredictable behavior of the vehicle on the road. This is a threat to drivers, passengers and other road users.
“Corrosion of the sleeve may cause the fastening screw to break, which leads to unpredictable driving behavior and deterioration of steering ability,” explains the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), quoted by Chip.de.

As Chip.de explains, the withdrawal of Toyota vehicles is the result of cooperation with the Stellantis Group, which is responsible for the production of the twin models Peugeot Traveler, Expert, Citroën Jumpy and Spacetourer. Stellantis has already launched similar measures for its vehicles in 2025. The only difference between Toyota models and their French counterparts is the brand logo.
As Chip.de reminds, similar service campaigns also affect other manufacturers. An example is the Audi brand, which is struggling with problems in the A8, Q7 and Q8 models, where the risk of vehicle fires forced corrective actions to be taken. This shows that even the biggest brands are not free from technical challenges.
