Yet another recall is affecting select units of the Toyota Avanza, Veloz, and Yaris Cross in the Philippines. This time, it has something to do with its front shock absorber.
After the Avanza and Veloz were recalled due to insufficient welds in their side-impact beams last January, this time a select number of the same models and the Yaris Cross need to have their front shock absorber tightened.
It was determined that affected vehicles have improperly tightened front shock absorber nuts, particularly the upper portions. If the vehicle is operated continuously in this condition, it may cause the nuts to come completely loose causing abnormal noise. In case that the nuts do come off completely, it will result in the loss of vehicle stability.
The corrective action is simple: Toyota dealers will inspect and correctly tighten the front shock absorber nuts. In case they find missing or damaged parts in the front shock absorber area, they will be replaced at no cost to customers. The fix will take no more than one hour.
See list below for affected units:
- Toyota Avanza / Veloz – 36,930 units (Produced January 7, 2022 to September 4, 2023)
- Toyota Yaris Cross – 3,378 units (Produced May 29, 2023 to September 4, 2023)
Recall na naman, buti pa china car brands never nag issue ng recall🤫🤫🤫
ReplyDeleteDedma na daw kung need pa i recall, basta nabenta na, touch move na pag China brands hehe
DeleteAre these the indonesia made units? Toyota Lipat nalang dito sa pinas pag gawa nyan. Locally made vios and innova wala talaga problema, solid gawa ng pinoy
ReplyDeleteYes, they're all made in Indonesia. Kung dito yan gagawin, it would require additional investments, bureaucracy, and another plant para mangyari yan.
DeleteBetter buy a Mitsubishi Xpander and XForce always
ReplyDeleteXpander, xpander cross has ALWAYS 2 airbags...sucks!
DeleteAll car manufacturers have issues with their vehicles but sometimes they're hiding it. Chinese cars are the most headache in overseas . For now we don't see it here due to poor sales and low volume of buyers.
ReplyDeleteAt least toyota try to recall their mistakes...
ReplyDeleteFirst they cheated on safety ratings, now it's poor workmanship. The end of the so-called Toyota reliability?

DNGA Yaris Cross isn't a safe vehicle that's why Toyota won't let it be crash tested..Avanza is also an unsafe vehicle.
ReplyDeleteBetter buy something from Mitsubishi or Chinese car brands.
