Almost 2 Million Toyota Vehicles Recalled for Dangerous Fuel Pump Issues
1.8 million Toyota cars were recently recalled in America for faulty fuel pump recall.
About the Toyota Fuel Pump Recall
Toyota issued a voluntary recall on Wednesday, March 4, due to fuel pump malfunctions.
According to Newsweek, the fuel pump faces a possibility of not functioning properly, thus potentially leading to accidents. A non-operating fuel pump can cause a vehicle’s engine to stall suddenly with great troubles of being restarted. A Toyota vehicle on a busy roadway, such as a highway, facing this issue could end up in a serious accident.
It is unknown what causes the fuel pumps to malfunction. After much investigation and key reports from consumer incident trends, Toyota decided to issue the recall for safety purposes. Toyota will create and install new fuel pumps for free to fix the issue.
