Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder Recalled in India for Fuel Indicator Defect; 10,000+ Units Affected

Toyota has issued a recall for 11,529 units of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder in India due to a defect in the fuel level indicator. The recall affects models produced between December 2024 and April 2025. The problem affects only the gasoline models, which feature an analogue fuel gauge in the instrument cluster. In some situations, the gauge may fail to show the correct fuel level, meaning the low fuel warning light might not turn on even when the tank is nearly empty. This could leave drivers unaware of the fuel shortage, increasing the risk of the engine shutting down or stalling while on the road. Notably, Maruti Suzuki recently issued a similar recall for the Grand Vitara, which shares the same technical platform as the Hyryder.

Toyota will proactively contact owners of the affected Urban Cruiser Hyryder units through its dealer and service network to carry out inspections and replace faulty parts at no cost, as part of the voluntary recall. The SUV offers versatility with petrol, CNG, and strong-hybrid options.

The petrol and CNG models are powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine, with petrol ones offering both manual and automatic transmissions and optional AWD for higher trims. The CNG models come with a manual gearbox only, while the strong-hybrid version combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor and battery, and is paired exclusively with a CVT.

The Urban Cruiser Hyryder comes packed with advanced features, including ventilated front seats, paddle shifters, ambient lighting, smartphone and smartwatch integration, and a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It also offers a panoramic sunroof, heads-up display, and wireless charging.
