Toyota recalls more than three thousand cars sold in Russia, where they found problems with the brakes. This is stated in a message published on the Rosstandart website. 3428 Toyota Hilux, Fortuner cars sold in the period from August 17, 2018 to the present are subject to recall.
“The reason for the recall of vehicles: the strength of the brake booster piston may be reduced due to the nature of its manufacture. In this state, the piston can be damaged during heavy braking and, in the worst case, the vehicle’s stopping distance will increase due to the reduced efficiency of the brake booster “, – the message says.
Earlier in February, the revocable campaign affected 82 405 Lexus LX570 and Toyota LC200 cars sold between January 31, 2013 and the present. It turned out that there was a defect in the machines that could lead to a short circuit and a fire.
Also in February, it became known about the recall of more than 1.3 million Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The company began investigating after it received information about an accident in Europe, when the emergency call system malfunctioned and sent incorrect data on the location of the car.
