Toyota was forced to recall 2,700 vehicles globally in June 2022. This happened because the bZ4X was found to present huge safety issues. Sales were halted and Toyota had to get right to work and fix the problem, which, according to Reuters, it managed to successfully overcome. After a three-month break, the problems have supposedly been fixed, and Toyota is finally ready to continue selling its first electric vehicle.
The recall notice said that turning sharply or braking suddenly could loosen a hub bolt, and thus potentially cause a wheel to come off the vehicle. There have also been problems with airbags in the EV; some were reportedly installed poorly and could fail or even possibly cause injuries. Both of these problems are definitely major enough for Toyota to take a step back and fix things, so it’s a good thing for the consumers that it has done that. Toyota’s chief technology officer, Masahiko Maeda, declined to disclose how much the recall had cost the company.
Reuters reports that Toyota replaced the faulty hub bolts and tightened them properly in the new versions of the bZ4X, meaning that future customers can drive risk-free. Unfortunately, the vehicle is now only available for lease in Japan and will return starting on October 26, 2022. We don’t know when sales in the United States will be resumed.
