Toyota to Recall 412,000 More Vehicles;

Toyota has announced that they will recall 412,000 high end passenger vehicles in the United States to fix steering problems. Toyota has already issued many recalls this year and the latest recalls add to a list of problems that Toyota vehicles have been experiencing. Used Toyota and other vehicle models can be found at NC used cars dealers. Toyota's latest recall is not good news for the company that has been struggling to rebuild its image as being a safe and reliable manufacturer. Other manufacturers like Volkswagen have not had to deal with as many recalls, and the latest models can bought during VW Specials at a discount.

Nissan also has not had to issue recalls for its models lately and the latest Nissan models can be bought from New Haven Nissan Dealers. 373,000 models of its Avalon series from the years 2000- 2004 will be recalled due to steering problems. The steering lock bar in these vehicles could break under certain conditions. 39,000 of the LX470 sports utility vehicle model will be recalled due to steering shaft disengagement problems. The models affected for the LX470 are from 2003-2007.

Toyota is the world's largest automobile manufacturer and the latest recalls are a difficult trial that may cause further decreased sales and safety ratings for the automaker. There have been three accidents so far with the Avalon models that have had steering problems, and there have been no injuries reported. It makes sense for Toyota to act quickly about these problems to avoid any further injuries or other problems.

It remained unclear whether the latest accidents with those Avalon models were related to the steering wheel defect or some other problem. The LX470 models affected by the recall have not been involved in any accidents to date. Toyota's shares dropped down 0.3 percent before the announcement of the recall, and they may drop further due to the recall.
