Toyota Motor Corp in late June said it would recall 2,700 of its first mass-produced electric vehicles (EVs) for the global market because of a risk the wheels could come loose.
The world's largest automaker by sales submitted the recall of the bZ4X SUVs to Japan's transportation ministry. Of the 2,700 vehicles, 2,200 were earmarked for Europe, 260 for the United States, 10 for Canada and 110 for Japan, the company said.
The recall marks a remarkable failure not just for the Japanese company, which prides itself so much on quality, but for the electric market itself, which is undergoing stresses in light of the shortage of parts for electric vehicles due to supply chain issues related to the shutdowns during covid-19.
