Introduction: Although the automobile industry is now very mature, but for a complex structure, with 20,000-30,000 parts of the car, it is impossible to be perfect, in the design and production links, a mistake may be amplified. Recently, Toyota, a Japanese brand known for its "reliability and durability", guangzhou automobile toyota motor co., LTD., Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., Toyota Motor (China) Investment Co., Ltd., and Sichuan FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. Changchun Fengyue company (authorized by Sichuan FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.) filed a recall plan with the State Administration for Market Regulation.
It is reported that the reason for the recall is that the internal components of the vehicle engine exhaust gas recirculation valve (EGR valve) may be corroded by the higher concentration of chlorine in the fuel, resulting in poor valve movement. It may cause the engine to run poorly, and in extreme cases, the vehicle will be turned off at low speed, increasing the risk of collision accidents and potential safety hazards.
The vehicles involved in the recall are:
GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. has a total of 468465 units. Some Of the Willanda cars produced between April 15, 2020 and July 6, 2020 totaled 18,402 units; some C-HR cars produced between July 27, 2018 and July 7, 2020, totaling 105165 units; and some Camry vehicles produced between December 7, 2017 and October 10, 2020, totaling 344898 units.
The recall will be effective April 16, 2022.
Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd., a total of 194058 units. Some Yize automobiles produced between May 4, 2018 and July 10, 2020, a total of 93,792 units, and some Asian Dragon automobiles produced between March 5, 2019 and September 4, 2020, a total of 100266 units.

It is worth mentioning that Toyota's recall was carried out under the circumstance that the State Administration for Market Supervision and Administration launched a defect investigation. Can this sentence be understood in this way: Toyota's recall plan is passive, not active.
This also made me think that a few days ago, Toyota Motor announced the use of defective parts of the news, some netizens commented that Toyota generally did things first, first observed for a period of time, in the situation to see the situation announced to the public. Combined with Toyota's passive release of the recall plan, there is indeed such a possibility.
Ah Chuan commented on the car
There is no doubt that the recent use of defective parts by Toyota, as well as this recall, is very likely to make people's trust and recognition of "Toyota that cannot be broken" be discounted to a certain extent. But this does not mean that Toyota has stepped down from the altar, I believe that for such a giant in the automotive field, the reaction speed to the event is very fast, and I hope that it can make positive improvements according to the reaction of market consumers in the future, bring more reliable and higher quality products to the market, and win the recognition of consumers again.
