One of the safest brands in the Automobile sector and well known for its quality, Toyota celebrated its 60th anniversary recently. It has rolled out a special edition of Land Cruiser, regarded as a wonder for its consumers with its supreme drive quality, on this occasion.

Toyota has been issued a subpoena by a federal grand jury in New York following defects reported in its steering relay rods.

This is Toyota’s second subpoena this year, last one being about Toyota vehicles accelerating without driver attempting to do so.

Toyota said, "The company and its subsidiary are sincerely cooperating with authorities on the probe."

Toyota has stopped all the sales of Lexus HS 250 hybrid, after the Government claims that hybrid could seep out fuel in a rear end collision. The Company said that it is going to recall 17000 sedans that have already been sold, including 4,000 in the dealership lot.

Toyota’s Spokesman, Brian Lyons said the way to solve the problem has not been found, yet.

After having recently settled a $16.375-million fine against Toyota on Monday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is now considering the imposition of a second fine against the company for concealing information about problematic accelerator pedals in nearly 2.3 million vehicles.

According to the federal safety regulators’ notification to Toyota, the company took a long time to report the defective accelerator pedals.

Leading automobile manufacturer Toyota, in line with its plans to recall the defected models from the market, has announced to call back all Avalon and Sequoia models sold in the UAE. The models have some faults in their accelerator pedals.
