AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)01/18 Report--

Speaking of Toyota has good sales both in the world and in China, it captures a lot of fans by virtue of its good reputation, but some fans have excessive myths about it. And it will be touted as "unbreakable Toyota", "100,000 kilometers just past the run-in period" and other titles. However, a few days ago, foreign media reported that Toyota will recall nearly 700000 Toyota and Lexus cars in the US market because of fuel pump problems.

It is understood that Toyota's recall is due to the fact that the vehicle is equipped with a fuel pump that may cause the vehicle to stop running. if this happens, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the dashboard, and the engine may not run well. and cause the vehicle to stall, or even the vehicle may not be able to restart.

The situation of flameout is not trivial. If the vehicle suddenly stalls while driving at high speed, it may increase a lot of unpredictable risks. To this end, Toyota will decide to recall nearly 700000 vehicles, and owners will be notified by email in mid-March.

The recall covers Lexus 2018 and 2019 models of LS, LC, RC, GS, IS, ES, LX, GX and RX. Toyota brand Camry, Hanlanda, Lande Cool Luze, Sequoia and other models. If the domestic Toyota is a domestic joint venture, there may not be the same problem, then Lexus is an imported model, so it is difficult to judge whether the same situation exists. But so far, there is no official response to whether the same model on sale in China has the same hidden dangers.

Toyota has also had a lot of recalls in China this year. According to a recall notice issued by China's General Administration of quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, Toyota recalled 770102 vehicles in China in 2019, ranking third behind BMW and Mercedes-Benz, accounting for 11%. Although most of them are affected by the recall of Takata airbags, there are also many quality problems, most of which are found in Lexus.

Lexus, a high-end brand owned by Toyota, can continue to achieve year-on-year sales growth even while raising prices in 2019, setting a new record this year, with cumulative sales of 200500 vehicles in China, up 25% from the same period last year. Become the biggest growth of all luxury brands.

But as a high-end brand of Toyota, Lexus has also been frequently exposed to quality problems. Last month, Mr. Huang of Ningbo raised the price of an ES200 by 30, 000 yuan with a total price of nearly 340000 yuan. as a result, when the car was driven to 62 kilometers the next day, the car turned on three yellow lights, and the new car, such as a fare increase, had problems in such a cut-off time, so it was obviously unacceptable, so he decided to return the car. There are also earlier rumors on social platforms that the Lexus NX suffered spontaneous combustion while driving and eventually burned down the rest of the frame. No specific investigation results have been released, but officials say the vehicle is a non-hybrid model.

In fact, Toyota's reputation in China and even around the world still exists, but for some fans, it is not a myth that the vehicle is made up of thousands of parts, and problems are inevitable. But for well-known car companies, it should be to minimize the number of recalls, every detail should be carefully checked.
