"There must be a Toyota car on the road", this was an advertising slogan deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, however, who would have thought that in December last year, Toyota announced a large-scale recall, which made car owners and friends need to pay special attention!
2024 has arrived, and the December recall list is also coming as scheduled, with an equally astonishing more than one million vehicles, and the Toyota brand is even more in the top three. In addition, Dongfeng Motor, Mercedes-Benz and BMW are also on the list, with the number of recalls exceeding 10,000 units, and car owners must check whether their vehicles are also within the scope of the recall.
If it is the GM models that contracted the recall list in November, then in December it was the turn of the Toyota models, which is really "feng shui in turn"! Specifically, some popular models can be called huge in terms of the number of recalls, mainly including:
1: Some Corolla vehicles produced between August 6, 2019 and July 11, 2023, totaling 350021 units;
2. Some Highlander cars produced between October 13, 2018 and October 5, 2023, totaling 512992 units;
3. A total of 156979 imported RX vehicles produced between September 4, 2018 and September 6, 2022.
These numbers are amazing! The reasons for this large-scale recall vary. Among them, the main reason for the recall of some Corolla, Highlander, and imported RX models is that the internal parts of the high-pressure fuel pump are not in sufficient pressure resistance, which may lead to wear and tear inside the fuel pump, and eventually lead to cracks in the welding parts of the fuel pump. More bluntly, this can lead to an oil leak in the vehicle, which can be serious if it encounters a fire source. Therefore, before carrying out a recall repair, vehicle owners should try to avoid being close to potential sources of fire.
This large-scale recall has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention, and car owners need to pay close attention to the relevant information to know if their models are affected. The recall is a responsible attitude towards car safety, but it also reminds consumers that they should pay attention to the manufacturer's service and update it in time after purchasing a car to ensure driving safety.
