Toyota Recalls

Toyota is recalling  6.4 million vehicles globally because of five separate issues: seat rails, steering columns, wipers and an engine starter glitch that poses a fire risk.

Though no crashes, injuries or fatalities have been linked to these issues, there have been two reports of fires linked to the engine starter problem. According to the carmaker, “Due to inefficiencies in the design of the starter motor relays, metallic particles might accumulate on the contacts within the relay.” If these particles enter the relay’s circuitry, then it could lead to a fire.
