Toyota extends recall of cars to Europe
Last week, Toyota suspended the US sales of 8 models in a recall, and today, expanding to Europe the recall of millions of its most popular cars due to dangerous accelerator pedals, Toyota Motor Corp has suffered another major blow to its reputation as the world’s best and the largest car maker.
Toyota however hasn’t yet decided how many vehicles in Europe would be recalled. Nor has the company decided a date for it.
Media and experts are expecting that more than 2 million cars may get affected on top of some 6 million now recalled in North America.
The recall from Toyota and a related halt in production in North America of eight models including its best-selling Camry, tends to damage Toyota’s unshakeable record for reliability and safety.
