Toyota Recall in US, Canada Include RAV4 Vehicles

On Monday, September 9, 2013, Toyota has reissued a recall of 870,000 vehicles in the United States and Canada due to initial repairs not performed properly.

The Toyota recall affects RAV4 vehicles with model years 2006 through 2010 and Lexus HS250h vehicles built from October 2005 through September 2010.

It was the second time in a week that Toyota issued a second recall for the same group of vehicles.

Some 133,000 Highyland and Lexus RX vehicles were recalled in the United States Tuesday to repair a problem with the hybrid engine’s inverter system.

The vehicles were recalled in 2011 after initial reports of problems with solder. Further investigation discovered a problem with the circuitry.

Toyota has issued new instructions to dealers and will be notifying customers that they need to bring their vehicles back in to be checked.
