Recently, according to the announcement of the State Administration for Market Regulation, Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. and GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. recalled some Corolla cars and Leiling motors, and the total number of recalled vehicles exceeded 320,000. Aguijun also remembers that the last large-scale recall of Toyota was on July 23, 2021, when some vehicles were recalled due to defects in the adaptive cruise system, and coincidentally, the model involving a total of more than 230,000 vehicles was the corolla and Leiling, sister models.
The reason for this recall is a problem with the manufacture of the vehicle's engine ignition coil, resulting in a deviation in the size of the Stage 1 coil bracket inside some of the ignition coils. In extreme cases, the engine may short circuit during operation, fuse the fuse, cut off the power supply to the spark plug, and cause the vehicle to stop while driving. In the process of driving, the car suddenly loses power, which is a very dangerous thing. This also made many car owners nervous.
Tianjin FAW Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. and GAC Toyota Motor Co., Ltd. will replace the modified ignition coils free of charge for vehicles within the scope of the recall to eliminate safety hazards.
Toyota has a fairly good sales performance in the domestic automobile market, and it is definitely not cost-effective. Rather, it is a well-known retention rate and reliability. Some people think that it is understandable that Toyota has made compromises on configuration and driving experience to a certain extent for reliability. After all, in the concept of many people, the car is just a means of transportation, does not need a fancy configuration, just wants to be durable.
But is the Toyota careless or not? Ah Guijun saw some news on a car consumer complaint website.

Most of the reasons for the owner's complaints are transmission problems, abnormal noise problems and body rust problems. When Toyota controls the cost of car manufacturing, it ignores the quality of the product itself and after-sales service. Problems such as oil emulsification and instrument cluster cracking at that time affected Toyota's reputation to a certain extent.
GuiyanTang:
At that time, the phrase "Toyota that cannot be broken" was a trust in the Toyota brand and a reputation accumulated by Toyota after experiencing the test of the market. However, in recent years, there have been several large-scale recalls of problem vehicles, quality problems continue to appear, and the FLAG of toyota that was "not broken" seems to have fallen. What kind of market performance will Toyota have in the new year?
