Almost 9000 Toyota cars sold between 2020-23 over a potentially fatal defect in their suspensions.
A recall has been issued for Toyota Yaris models, both petrol and hybrid, manufactured between 2020-23.
“The front lower suspension arm may develop cracks and corrode when exposed to road snow melting agents,” the recall said.
“This could cause the suspension to collapse and detach from the vehicle. As a result, the vehicle may experience a sudden loss of steering control.”
Owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by Toyota in writing and will be asked to make an appointment to have the front lower suspension arm replace free of charge.
