AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)09/15 Report--

Recently, according to Toyota issued a new recall notice overseas, it will recall more than 150000 Toyota smooth road models. It is understood that the models involved in the recall include Toyota Tantu pickup trucks produced from 2018 to 2021, with a total number of 158489. The reason for the recall is a flaw in the design of Toyota's flat circuit with halogen headlamps. When the high beam is turned on, the filaments of the high beam and the low beam are powered on at the same time. In extreme cases, it may cause a short circuit of the circuit and cause vehicle combustion, resulting in a major accident. Toyota will replace the new headlamp assembly for defective models in the future, which will begin on November 1, 2021.

Tantu is Toyota's pure American pickup truck. Toyota Tantu is currently mainly sold in the North American market. Domestic consumers need to adopt parallel imports if they want to buy, and there is also a certain market in the domestic market. Toyota sold a total of 109000 vehicles in the United States in 2020. According to foreign media reports, the new Toyota Tantu pickup is expected to be unveiled in 2021 and will have a new appearance and interior design.

In terms of appearance, Toyota Tandu pickup vehicle line design is relatively simple, maintaining the consistent style of the Toyota family. The medium net uses a black mesh grille, which looks more beautiful than the chrome plating decoration, and the wheel hub is made of aluminum alloy with a size of 20 inches. The size of the car body is further increased, the size is 5814mm × 2029mm × 1915mm, and the wheelbase reaches 3701mm. The daytime driving lamp adopts the side frame design, the far and near light source is the LED headlamp, and the rear part of the car adopts the split taillight with vertical layout. In terms of power and power system, Toyota will carry a V6 engine. According to Toyota North America, the engine will be more powerful than the upcoming 5.7-liter V8. In the United States, where the pickup market is relatively mature, Toyota's competition for Tantu mainly comes from Ford Fmur150, Dodge RAM-1500 and GMCSierra. In recent years, with the gradual relaxation or cancellation of domestic pickup policy, domestic users' demand for pickups is also increasing, and major car companies have launched new pickup models to meet the market demand. The new smooth road to join, also let the original cross-country choice of one more, but need to go through parallel imports to buy, more or less have a certain impact on its domestic sales.

In the smooth road of Toyota produced in 2018-2021, some models were sold in China through parallel imports, and no further information has been released on the specific recall plans for these models. We will also keep an eye on the follow-up news.
