Toyota Recall

Wednesday, 10 October 2012 11:26

Toyota has issued another massive recall. This time it involves 7.43-million vehicles around the world; 240-thousand here in Canada. The recall is for a faulty power-wind swtich. According to the manufacture giant, the switch on the driver's side didn't have grease applied evenly during production, causing friction and sometimes smoke. They say there have been no reported crashes or injuries due to the faulty switch. In North America the recall affects the Yaris, Corolla, Matrix, Camry, RAV4, Highlander, Tundra, Sequoia and Scion models xB and xD between 2005 and 2010.
