TOKYO – Toyota will recall 75,000 automobiles in China due to accelerator pedal problems, extending a program that has already affected millions of vehicles in the United States, Kyodo News said Thursday.

The recall in China involves the RAV4 sport utility vehicle, the report said.

At least the Sienna isn't included. That's the one I'm interested in.

Is this malfunction due to a botched drive-by-wire technology?

Where are Chinese RAV4's made? Kasi kung Japan apektado na tayo nyan!

Right sa Pilipinas wala naman aminan eh! D4-D choking problems anyone?

Anyway. China is now in the list!

Tiyak apektado nito ang resale value ng Corolla.

At hindi aamin ang Toyota Philippines na palpak ang Corolla nila. It will be a business suicide.

Let's wait and see this unfolding situation.

Ingat sa pagbili ng sasakyan. (Lalo na pag Toyota)

I don't know. None of the previous US recalls have affected Toyota locally.

And no... they won't sell US models here while they are under investigation... what's the point? Do you know how much it would cost for them to ship them from the US and import them here... after they've been tax paid in the US? Who'd buy a Corolla that cost as much as a Camry?

I'm waiting to see if the Chinese recall has some merit, or if it's merely preventative. If there have been cases in China, then it really is a design flaw in the part, not a bad batch of springs from the manufacturer. Might be a tolerance that is too tight, leading to premature spring failure. If that is so, then that's a really really big boo-boo on Toyota's part. And they can't afford the bad press this would cause.

I found this from www.toyotanation.com . Apparently, Toyota have released today, Jan. 28, 2010, yet another recall notice to expand the line of vehicles affected by the sticky pedal problem. Here's the link:

Kawawa yung mga grey market na 2009MY Sequoia at Highlander rito..

Dapat i-recall ng TMPC yung RAV-4 LWB 2WD at 4WD variants.
