The affected electric vehicles use a battery\nthat supplies power to the vehicle\u2019s drive system and is controlled by\nan Electronic Control Unit (ECU). According to a recall notice published\non Toyota Australia\u2019s website, a warning message reading \u2018EV System\nMalfunction\u2019 may appear and various malfunction indicator lights on the\ninstrument panel could illuminate due to the software problem.
