If there is a make of car that is associated with reliability and dealer customer service it would be Toyota. So it has come as a surprise recently when Toyota have announced a recall of up to 8 models of cars with a accelerator cable fault, this will cover 10,000 cars in this country and millions worldwide. this just comes at a time when Toyota have announced some impressive profits during htis ression time, that probably will be wiped out with this recall.
The media are making a big thing of the issue, even though no problems have been reported int he UK, every issue has been in the USA. it also covers some Citroen C1′s which were made in the same factory, which suggests a factory or parts issue rather than a design fault. To be honest if there were a make of car to have a fault you would hope it would be a Toyota, we have seen represenetatives on TV assuring they will put the issue right, without passing blame to anyone else.
The media have suugested contacted your local dealer and if you have car lease you should contact that supplier, but Toyota have set up a phone line and are probaly better set up tpo deal with the issue, that will take only 30 minutes per car to pout right. Toyota dealers will be rubbing their hands in glee, as all recalls will be chargeable back to Toyota.
