Toyota’s Russian representation reported recently that the concern was going to call about 160,000 automobiles off the Russian market because of the possible accelerator pedal defects. The cars in question are the IQ, Yaris, Auris, Corolla, Verso, Avensis, and RAV4 makes produced in 2005-2010. The car owners will soon be requested to take their vehicles to the dealers’ offices for examination and possibly for repairs.

‘I am truly sorry about this worrying situation. Toyota has always placed its customers first, whatever the circumstances,’ says head of Toyota’s Russian representation Takeshi Isogaya.
