Toyota Announces Recall of over 770,000 SUVs

Rear suspension issue to blame

Toyota has announced a massive recall that involves 778,000 SUVs sold under the Toyota and Lexus brands. There are 760,000 Toyota RAV4 SUVs covered in the recall and 18,000 Lexus HS 250h SUVs covered in the recall. The problem has to do with an issue in the rear suspension.

Toyota says that a nut on the rear suspension arm wasn't tightened following the proper procedure and torque specifications. Due to this, excessive play may occur at the threaded portion of the arm followed by rust formation. If rust forms, Toyota fears that the threaded portion of the rear suspension arm could wear and eventually separate leading to an accident. Toyota will fix the issue at no charge to owners of the vehicle.
