Toyota Recalls Over 43K Hybrid SUVs In US Over Concerns Of Tow Hitch Falling Off
Japanese automaker Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) is recalling 43,395 Sequoia Hybrid SUVs in the U.S. citing concerns about the tow hitch falling off, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday.
日本汽車製造商豐田汽車（紐交所：TM）正在召回美國的43,395輛 Sequoia混動SUV，理由是擔心拖車鉤脫落，國家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）週五表示。
What Happened: The recall population includes model year 2023 and model year 2024 Sequoia full-size SUVs, the auto safety regulator said. The tow hitch in these vehicles may come loose from the bumper and detach, posing a risk for other drivers on the road.
發生了什麼：汽車安全監管機構表示，這次召回範圍包括2023年和2024年型號的 Sequoia全尺寸SUV。這些車輛的拖車鉤可能從保險槓上鬆動並脫落，對其他司機在路上構成風險。
As for a solution, dealers will replace the tow hitch cover and modify the rear bumper at no cost to the customer, NHTSA said.
至於解決方案，NHTSA表示經銷商將免費更換拖車鉤蓋並修改後保險槓。
Toyota is aware of 1,024 warranty claims that may be related to the incident as of Aug. 20.
截至8月20日，豐田已知道可能與該事件有關的1024項保修索賠。
Why It Matters: The recall impacts only Sequoia vehicles manufactured during a certain period as other Toyota and Lexus vehicles sold in the U.S. are either equipped with a tow hitch cover of a different design or are not equipped with a tow hitch cover, NHTSA said.
爲什麼重要：NHTSA表示，該召回僅影響特定時期生產的Sequoia車輛，其他在美國銷售的豐田和雷克薩斯車輛要麼配備有不同設計的拖車鉤蓋，要麼沒有拖車鉤蓋。
In June, Toyota recalled over 145,000 vehicles, including several hybrid models, over concerns that the driver and passenger side curtain airbags may not unroll as intended and could partially deploy outside of open windows.
今年6月，豐田召回了超過145,000輛車，包括幾款混合動力車型，原因是擔心駕駛員和乘客側面氣簾可能無法按預期展開，並可能部分展開在打開的窗戶外。
