As soon as it entered December 2023, Toyota announced that it would carry out a large-scale recall in the domestic auto market, with a cumulative recall of more than 1.01 million vehicles, reaching 1016992 units. The main models involved this time are mainly domestic Highlander, imported RX and other models.
Toyota On December 1, the State Administration for Market Regulation showed that because of potential safety hazards, Toyota issued three recall notices in China, involving more than 1.01 million vehicles.
That. 1. Due to the extreme situation of the vehicle accidentally stalling during low-speed driving, increasing the risk of being rear-ended, Toyota China and GAC Toyota decided to recall 275383 vehicles.
It mainly involves domestic Highlander and imported RX models, including 186837 domestic Highlander vehicles and 88,545 imported RX vehicles.
Highlander. That.
2. Due to the improper installation structure of the front bumper lower guard plate of the vehicle within the scope of the recall, some of the claws may be loosened after the lower guard plate is bumped.
In this case, the front bumper lower guard and the related parts that are attached to it may fall off, posing a safety hazard. GAC Toyota has decided to recall 168697 domestically produced Highlander vehicles.
These two recalls have been introduced in detail in our previous two articles. Similarly, on December 1, 2203, there was a recall notice regarding Toyota.
Toyota recall. According to the official of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the Mercedes-Benz recall mainly involves the domestic Highlander, imported RX and some domestic Corolla models, involving 57,291 vehicles.
That. 1. FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. is recalling some Corolla vehicles manufactured between August 6, 2019 and July 11, 2023, totaling 350021 vehicles.
That. 2. GAC Toyota Motor *** recalls some Highlander vehicles manufactured between October 13, 2018 and January 14, 2022, a total of 157458 vehicles.
Highlander Its.
3. Toyota Motor (China) Investment*** recalls some imported RX vehicles produced between September 4, 2018 and September 6, 2022, a total of 68,434 units.
As for the reason for the recall, it is because the vehicles within the scope of this recall may wear and tear inside the fuel pump due to the insufficient pressure resistance of the internal parts of the high-pressure fuel pump, resulting in cracks in the welding parts of the fuel pump due to stress concentration.
In extreme cases, fuel may leak through cracks, and there is a risk of exposure to external ignition. At the same time, fuel leakage and volatilization have unreasonable emission hazards.
Highlander. In view of this, FAW Toyota Motor *** GAC Toyota Motor *** Toyota Motor (China) Investment *** will check the high-pressure fuel pump for the vehicles within the scope of the recall free of charge.
For parts that do not meet the requirements, they are replaced with improved high-pressure fuel pumps, so as to eliminate potential safety hazards and unreasonable emission hazards for users.
At the same time, it should be pointed out that before the recall is repaired, the vehicle should be avoided as close to the fire source as possibleIf the user notices a fuel odor or fuel leakage, they should stop using the vehicle and contact the dealer for disposal.
Highlander. Needless to say, just entering December, Toyota announced a recall of more than 1.01 million vehicles, which is a considerable number. Moreover, the hidden dangers such as engine ** and stalling during driving are not small problems.
However, I believe that as a large consumer item, it is difficult to completely guarantee that there will be no hidden dangers. It is important that when a problem occurs, the manufacturer can uphold the attitude of responsibility to the user and take the initiative to take responsibility.
In this regard, whether it is Toyota China, FAW Toyota or GAC Toyota, it has obviously done it. I think that's positive.
Highlander. Compared with some car companies that delay, evade, and deny the existence of problems, I think Toyota's approach is more trustworthy. Here, we also hope that some car companies that avoid problems, especially some independent brands, can change their ways and not shy away from medical treatment.
Otherwise, these car companies will be abandoned by domestic users sooner or later. In fact, some once relatively strong car companies, because of product sequence disorder, poor after-sales service, strategic confusion, etc., have been counterattacked in the domestic market, and gradually withdrew from the camp of first-line independent car companies.
Finally, the recall data involved in this article is on the official website of the State Administration for Market RegulationThe sales data of the models involved are the comprehensive sales data of the industry released on the third-party platformAccording to the data description of the third-party platform, it is displayed in strict accordance with the corresponding relationship between the sales volume and the platform announced by the Automobile Dealers Association and the manufacturer, with an accuracy rate of more than 99%, which is for reference only.
