IT House reported on June 23 that Toyota is recalling 2,700 of its electric vehicles less than two months after launching its first mass-produced battery-powered SUV, the bZ4X.
Toyota on Thursday issued a global recall program warning that wheels could come off due to problems with the bolts that attach them.
Of the 2,700 vehicles, 2,200 were earmarked for Europe, 280 for North America, 110 for Japan and 60 for the rest of Asia, most not yet delivered. The company is still investigating the cause of the defect and is urging owners not to drive the car until it is fixed.
According to reports, some bZ4X produced in Japan from March to June this year may have problems such as loose wheel frame screws after intense driving and emergency braking. Cause the entire set of wheel frames including tires to fall off.
Therefore, the original factory has asked the owner to temporarily stop using the vehicle, and immediately recalled the repair after improving the plan and confirming the list of affected vehicles.
IT House has reported that on June 17, Toyota’s first pure electric new car bZ4X, which was originally scheduled to be launched at 19:00 that night, suddenly canceled the pricing announcement, causing a lot of speculation.
A spokesman for GAC Toyota said that the delay in the announcement of the bZ4X price is “considering that the entire market is affected by the supply of chips, the price fluctuates greatly, and the vehicle offline time cannot be accurately estimated for the time being. After comprehensive consideration, we decided to postpone the announcement of the price. We are discussing internally. , I hope to come up with a more competitive price to give back to consumers.”
Toyota Motor Corp slashed its July global production target by 50,000 vehicles and is expected to produce 800,000 vehicles next month, Reuters reported. However, Toyota’s full-year production forecast remained unchanged at 9.7 million vehicles.
