Toyota Recalls Vehicles for Engine Stalling Problems
Toyota is recalling 1.13 million Corolla and Matrix cars, which could potentially stall without warning. 2005 to 2008 Toyota Matrix and Corollas will be recalled for inspection and part replacement. According to a Bloomberg news report, about 200,000 Pontiac Vibe hatchbacks are also part of the recall as they were manufactured at the same plant as the Toyota models. So far, at least three accidents have been linked to the defect.
This vehicle recall is unrelated to the Toyota recall of 3.8 million vehicles that began at the end of 2009 or the recall of 2.3 million vehicles in January of 2010 linked to sudden acceleration. Prior to this recall, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received 163 complaints of stalling and six crashes since November 2009.
