This year has led to a lot of auto recalls. One of the most well-known auto recall this year probably came from Toyota when a recall on the faulty accelerator pedals happened. At least consistency is shown with another Toyota recall coming. This recall is not as noticeable considering there are less cars with difficulties. Only a few model years have to be recalled. Not only that, but only two different cars are being within the recall also. Even though it is small, Toyota will get hurt since it is still trying to get better following the recall from before.
Yet another Toyota recall
There have been a number of recalls from Toyota. Toyota recalls are fairly regular right about now. There has also been a new recall just announced to the public. The Toyota recall has 1.3 million autos involved. The problem has to do with the engine. There is an issue with how the engine control module works. It is not working right. The engine problem makes it so the motor won’t start with a stall when driving. Also, says CNN, shifting can be affected as well. There are accidents from the problem. Of course, the accidents are few.
Fix 1 million cars needing help
The Toyota Corolla and also the Toyota Matrix are the two models being recalled. From 2005 to 2008 there are issues. The circuit board can crack in the Engine Control Module which is in the 1ZZ-FE engineThe 1ZZ-FE has engine has a serious problem. The circuit board can crack within the Engine Control Module, which isn’t good. The engine might shut off while driving or affect the shifting. Engines may also be unable to start. There are 1.13 million automobiles within the U.S. and an additional 200,000 in Canada that might be affected. According to the Los Angeles Times, this will bring the number of autos Toyota has recalled this year to about 10 million. There is an investigation being run. This is coming from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
After years of market share Toyota can do no right
Toyota has had market share in U.S. auto sales. This has been for the last few years. This might be just what Toyota needed to break that trend. Those customers would go to General Motors, Ford and Chrysler if it were possible.
