Toyota recalls first mass-produced EVs less than 2 months after launch

1. Gasoline-electric hybrid models remain far more popular in Toyota’s home market than EVs, which accounted for just 1% of the passenger cars sold in Japan last year, based on industry data.

2. A Toyota spokesperson said not every model was subjected to the recall but declined to say how many it has built overall.

   For Subaru, most of the vehicles were for dealers and none were delivered to customers in the U.S., a Subaru spokesperson said.

   The recall comes less than two months after Toyota, a relative latecomer to the EV market, rolled out the electric SUV, bZ4X, to the domestic market, albeit as a lease-only option.

3. At least toyota is brave enough to recall them, tesla would probably stay quiet and then says it’s a “feature”
