LATEST PRESS STATEMENT: Recall of certain Toyota vehicles
Toyota South Africa Motors have been able to isolate the Auris, new generation Verso
and Corolla as part of the technical study of all the vehicles that are sold in
South Africa.
This would imply that these three model ranges will in all possibility be included
in the South African recall programme.
Toyota has not excluded any other vehicle yet and will be in a position to clearly
communicate which model ranges and specific date ranges for those recalled models
by next week (the week of 8-12 February).
PRESS STATEMENT: Recall of certain Toyota vehicles
Toyota Motor Corporation yesterday announced the finalisation of its recall of vehicles
in the United States and made clear its intention to expand it to other geographies.
The recall of Toyota-vehicles in the US relate to the upgrade of the accelerator
pedal mechanism which may, under very rare circumstances, be harder to depress,
slow to return to the idle position or remain open in a partially depressed position.
Last night it was announced that the recall would officially be expanded to other
geographies, including South Africa.
Given this development some vehicles sold by Toyota South Africa Motors may possibly
be involved in the expanded recall.
Toyota South Africa Motors is currently investigating which vehicles may be involved
in the recall and will make an announcement in due course.
