Toyota Offers No Remedy For Newly-Recalled Cars

Toyota announced a recall of 778,000 vehicles, but it still hasn’t determined how to remedy their defect.

As a result, drivers of about 760,000 Toyota RAV4s with 2006 through 2010 model years and 18,000 Lexus HS 250h vehicles from the 2010 model year may have to stop using their cars indefinitely.

Toyota says that if suspension arm nuts on the recalled vehicles aren’t tightened properly, rust could form and lead to the separation of the arm from the vehicle.  The automaker says it’s still working on how to fix the problem and will notify owners as soon as possible.

In June, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began investigating corrosion-related suspension problems in 2006 to 2008 model-year RAV4s.

Four complaints said drivers lost control of their vehicles because of the problem which caused wheels to be extremely out of alignment.
