“Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru recall 21,000 2026 model year EVs in the US due to a battery control unit fault that risks power loss and accidents.”

Toyota, Lexus, and Subaru are issuing a recall for about 21,000 battery-electric vehicles in the US from the 2026 model year. The affected models include the Toyota bZ, Lexus RZ, and Subaru Solterra.

The recall targets a malfunction in the electronic control unit that manages the high-voltage battery. This fault can cause the vehicle to lose driving power, increasing the risk of accidents.

Owners of these EVs should expect communications from the manufacturers regarding repairs or updates to address this safety concern.
