Alright let’s take an updated look at all the Toyotas (and Lexuses) that have been recalled by Toyota this year:
- Corolla
- Camry
- Matrix
- Avalon
- Highlander
- RAV4
- Tundra
- Sequoia
- Prius
- Tacoma
- Sienna
- Lexus HS 250
The only three Toyotas that have not been recalled are the Yaris, FJ Cruiser and 4Runner. The GX 460 has just received a “don’t buy” designation from Consumer Reports, so the 4Runner on which it is based could see a similar fate.
The Sienna, Tundra and Highlander have been recalled by Toyota Canada over the weekend. The timing is a bit suspect, no? Wait until the weekend when seemingly no one is paying attention.
Find out what they have been recalled for after the jump
270,000 1998-2010 Sienna minivans have been recalled for the carrier bay of the spare tire. Apparently it isn’t adequately protected against road salt and can be prone to rust as a result. No big deal right? Well that rust could eventually force the carrier loose which means the spare tire could come loose causing a crash or a road hazard for other vehicles.
The Tundra and Highlander (2007-2010 model year) have been recalled as well according to Toyota Canada. Apparently the floor mats in over 4700 affected models could have been improperly installed which means it could potentially interfere with the throttle.
