TOYOTA CANADA ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL ON CERTAIN TOYOTA COROLLA AND COROLLA MATRIX MODELS TO REPLACE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE
TORONTO, ON – August 26, 2010 - Toyota Canada Inc., today announced that it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 136,000 2005-2008 Model Year Toyota Corolla and 64,300 of the same model year Corolla Matrix vehicles sold in Canada to address some Engine Control Modules (ECM) that may have been improperly manufactured. No other Toyota or Lexus vehicles are involved in this recall. On vehicles equipped with the 1ZZ-FE engine and two-wheel drive, there is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder points or on the electronic component used to protect circuits against excessive voltage (varistor), on the ECM’s circuit board. In most cases, if a crack occurs at certain solder points or on certain varistors, the “check engine” light may illuminate, harsh shifting could result, or the engine may not start. In a small number of cases, should cracking occur on particular solder points or varistors, the engine could stop while the vehicle is being driven.

Lexus: LEXUS ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY SAFETY CAMPAIGN FOR CERTAIN LX 470 VEHICLES TO ADDRESS POTENTIAL FOR STEERING SHAFT DISENGAGEMENT
TORONTO, July 29, 2010 – Lexus Canada today announced that it intends to conduct a voluntary safety campaign of approximately 520 2003-2007 Model Year LX 470 vehicles to address a steering shaft condition. No other Lexus vehicles are involved in this campaign. Lexus has determined that the construction of the steering shaft on involved LX 470s is such that the snap ring on the shaft may disengage when the vehicle experiences an unusually severe impact to the front wheels, such as striking a deep pothole. If the snap ring becomes disengaged and the steering wheel is then repeatedly turned to the full locked position, the steering shaft may disengage over time. Lexus Canada is not aware of any accidents related to this condition
