Each campaign in detail

Faulty brake booster pump (recall)
Manufacturer recall
Some brake booster pumps fitted to the 2019 ES 300h were badly manufactured, which could cause the brake assistance to stop while driving (warning lights and alerts, longer braking distances). The recall documented in the sources concerns Australia (103 vehicles after an extension) and the United States; the unit is replaced free of charge if necessary. None of the sources consulted confirms a European recall: ask for a check using the serial number.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).

Official notices published in France (RappelConso)

Notices from the French consumer authority (DGCCRF) linked to this model, collected on 29 October 2026.

10 August 2026 — En raison d'un problème logiciel, l'unité de commande d'assistance au stationnement qui fonctionne avec le moniteur de vue panoramique (pvm) pour afficher l'image de la caméra de recul peut geler brièvement lors de la sauvegarde si la marche arrière est sélectionnée peu de temps après le démarrage du véhicule. En outre, la caméra de recul peut ne pas apparaître la prochaine fois que le véhicule est démarré si le véhicule est allumé et éteint à nouveau dans un court laps de temps. Cela peut augmenter le risque d'accident avec une personne ou un autre véhicule lors d'un événement de soutien.

12 July 2024 — Les boîtiers de caméra sur les véhicules peuvent se désagréger sous la contrainte en raison d'une soudure incorrecte, ce qui permet l'entrée d'eau et un court-circuit potentiel. Cela pourrait entraîner la perte d'images de la caméra avant ou arrière, augmentant le risque d'accident et de blessures pour les utilisateurs qui comptent uniquement sur ces caméras pour vérifier leur environnement.
