DETROIT (Reuters) – Toyota Motor Corp on Saturday recall about 22,000 sport service vehicles and pickup trucks since of tire-deflation monitoring system that may fail, regulator said.
Toyota Sequoia, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma and Tundra vehicle from model years 2008-2011 may have tire deflation monitoring systems that stop working to warn drivers, raise the risk of a break down, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a report.
The vehicles exaggerated left their assembly plants with operational monitoring systems, but when ornament wheels were installed, the systems were not recalibrated and now lights to warn drivers of low tire pressure may fail, the report said.
The models affected will be repair at Toyota dealerships at no cost, Toyota Motor Sales, the automaker's U.S. sales local office, told the NHTSA.
Toyota has been plagued by a series of recalls since late 2009 that now total 19 million vehicles worldwide. 2 weeks ago, the automaker recalled 2.2 million vehicles for a desert that may cause gas wheel to stick, widening one of the recalls from late 2009.
The recalls have cut into Toyota sales, particularly in the United States, where most of the recalls have taken place.
