    Toyota recalls Hilux trucks for brake problem

    Toyota will recall 1,935 imported Hilux trucks due to a safety issue related to their brake system.

    The batch was produced in Thailand between June and December 2018 and imported by Toyota Vietnam.

    The company said the problem has occurred due to a degrading of the resin piston within the brake booster due to improper molding.

    “If this were to occur, repeated operation of the brake pedal may cause the piston to break, potentially causing loss of braking assist and therefore increasing the vehicle stopping distance,” it said in a statement.

    Toyota will coordinate with its dealers to recall, inspect and replace the brake booster free of charge. The replacement will take between half an hour and four and a half hours.

    According to Toyota Vietnam, the recall will begin on March 5 and last three years.

    In the case of Hilux not imported by the company, it will obtain approval from its parent in Japan before carrying out the replacement.

    Honda To Recall 222,674 Accord Vehicles In China

    Honda Motor Co Ltd’s venture with Guangzhou Automobile Group Co Ltd will recall 222,674 Accord sedans in China, market regulators said on Thursday, after recent complaints on social media about the car engine’s quality. The recall is linked to a problem caused by the intercooler of the car’s 1.5T turbocharged engine. In certain situations, the engine lost speed to protect the vehicle, according to a document on China’s State Administration for Market Regulation.

    Some owners of the Japanese carmaker’s iconic model have posted videos that showed their cars losing speed, on social media Weibo over the past weeks. Many of them have demanded for a recall of the model.

    The Guangzhou-based venture will install devices that optimize the air flow rate at the engine intercooler, according to the document.

    Total vehicle sales in China, the world’s largest auto market, fell for a 12th straight month in June, and top industry body has predicted them to fall for the second year running.

    However, Honda’s sales in China outperformed the overall market. In the first seven months of the year, its local ventures reported a 20.5% rise in sales due to newly revamped variants.

    Honda recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles including popular Civic and CR-V last year, due to a cold-climate engine problem.
