Toyota plans to recall multiple models in North America, including pickups and SUVs, citing potential risks in the transmission system

According to foreign media reports, Toyota is planning to recall multiple models in the North American market in two separate recalls. The affected vehicles include pickup trucks, various SUV models, and even some Lexus models. The reason for the recall is a safety issue related to the transmission system, and notifications to affected vehicle owners will be sent out in April.
One of the recalls involves the pickup truck model Toyota Tacoma, specifically the 2022-2023 models, with approximately 381,000 vehicles affected. This recall is initiated due to debris causing improper fastening, potentially leading to the separation of the half-shaft assembly from the half-shaft housing in the affected vehicles. The separation of the axle could result in a decrease in vehicle stability and braking performance, thereby increasing the risk of collision accidents.
Another recall involves a subset of vehicles, including certain 2022-2024 Toyota Tundra, Lexus LX600, and 2023-2024 Toyota Sequoia models. A total of 281,663 SUVs are affected by this recall. The identified issue with these vehicles occurs when they are in neutral and the brake is not engaged. In such situations, there is a potential for unintended vehicle movement due to a delay in disengaging the clutch plates in the transmission. The speed of the unintended vehicle movement can reach up to 6.4 kilometers per hour, which will increase the risk of collisions. The specific corrective measure following the recall involves dealers updating the vehicles' ECU software to prevent the occurrence of the aforementioned danger.

2026 Toyota Hilux Travo released, the brand-new exterior and interior are highly anticipated
If you're considering buying a Hilux, honestly, the comprehensive innovations in the ninth generation are worth waiting for. While the current model might still have some advantages in terms of reliability and price, the new model offers significant changes in terms of exterior and interior luxury, tech features, and powertrain options.
Jaecoo J7 VS Honda CR-V, which is the most worthwhile C-Segment SUV to buy
With an exterior that closely resembles a Land Rover, Jaecoo J7's sales experienced several months of rapid growth but have recently slowed down. Perhaps the market is nearing saturation, as Jaecoo J7 has already surpassed the once-dominant Honda CR-V in the C-Segment SUV category.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Which one is better, Honda City or Toyota Vios?
When choosing a compact sedan, Honda City and Toyota Vios are often two options that make people weigh repeatedly. You might be attracted to the dynamic design of the Vios but also be captivated by the City.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
