Toyota (TM) Recalls 1M Vehicles Over Faulty Airbag Issue
Read MoreHide Full Article
Per AP, Toyota Motor Company (TM - Free Report) announced that it issued another massive recall consisting more than one million vehicles, globally. The vehicles have faulty airbags that might inflate without a crash or fail to inflate in case of an accident.
In the United States, the recall consists of around 17,000 Scion xA, a five-door subcompact hatchback offered between 2004 and 2006. In other countries — including Japan and European countries — the recall covers Isis, Avensis, Avensis Wagon, Allex, ist, Wish, Corolla, Corolla Spacio, Corollo Verso, Corolla Fielder, Corolla Runx and Sienta models. All the cars were manufactured between July 2002 and June 2015.
Customers of the affected vehicles will be notified about the airbag control unit replacement in December, which will be replaced by the dealers.
A day before, Toyota announced another worldwide recall consisting more than 400,000 vehicles, along with Subaru Corporation, per The Wall Street Journal. The recalled vehicles have defective engines that could stop engine valves from opening while fuel is combusted, which might lead to accidents or severe engine damage. Out of the total, Toyota’s vehicle count is 80,000 while the rest are of Subaru. Further, out of Subaru’s total count, 100,000 were sold in Japan.
Of late, Toyota has been involved in several vehicle recalls, similar to other automakers across the globe. In the last month, the company announced a massive safety recall of 2.43 million gasoline hybrid vehicles in Japan, the United States and other markets. Notably, the recalled cars include Toyota’s Prius and Auris models, which were manufactured between October 2008 and November 2014.
