toyota recall
Apparently the worst of Toyota's recall concerns are yet to come. The world's biggest automaker declared plans today that they will have to recall nearly 1.4 million vehicles globally, for problems regarding oil leaks, faulty fuel pumps, and fuel lines.
The number includes about 245,000 Lexus IS and GS models in the U.S. market for the fuel issue; the remainder concern oil leaks on the Japan-market Toyota Noah, Voxy, and Isis minivans, plus about 140,000 Toyota Avensis models in other international markets, produced between May 2000 and October 2008. Toyota says that no accidents have been reported related to this latest issue, which may cause the engine to stall. Owners with questions about this are instructed to call Lexus Customer Satisfaction at 1-800-25 LEXUS or 1-800-255-3987 or go to www.lexus.com/recall
So a big headache for bosses at Toyota and this will surely severely dent their finances.
