Toyota Motor Corp said on Wednesday it was recalling all of the roughly 2,800 zero-emission Mirai cars due to problems with the output voltage generated by their fuel cell system.
Toyota said in Tokyo that dealers would update the fuel cell system software at no cost to the customer and the process would take about half an hour.
To date, Toyota has sold about 2,840 Mirai cars in Japan, the United States and some markets in Europe, as well as the United Arab Emirates.
Toyota first began selling the hydrogen-fueled Mirai in December 2014 in Japan, its home market, in a bid to lead the industry in the nascent technology.
Toyota has promoted fuel cell vehicles as the most sensible next-generation option to hybrids, although a lack of hydrogen fuelling stations remains a major hurdle for mass consumption.
