Toyota recalls all its bZ4X electric cars over wheels potentially falling off


 


Toyota issued a recall on 2,700 bZ4X electric cars, roughly all the ones produced to date (though most undelivered), over the potential of wheels falling off.To get more news about Car wheel, you can visit nnxwheels.com official website.


 


The bZ4X is Toyota’s first global electric car. Toyota launched the electric SUV in the US earlier this year at a starting price of $42,000.


 


It is a very important vehicle for the Japanese automaker since it is going to open the doors to the global EV market for the first time for the Toyota brand.

Unfortunately, it is not off to a good start, as Toyota confirmed that it is recalling all the electric vehicles over a problem with hub bolts that can result in losing a wheel:Toyota is asking owners to not drive their vehicles until it completes its investigation and issues the official recall. The automaker disclosed that it affects 2,200 going to Europe, 260 to the US, 110 in Japan, and 20 to Canada – most affected vehicles are not delivered to customers yet because the vehicle is so new.


 


While it’s a setback, some recalls are always expected early in the production of new vehicles and fortunately, it looks like Toyota caught it before most of those vehicles get delivered.


 


Hopefully, Toyota can address the issue quickly, and we can see a good ramp-up of bZ4X deliveries during the second half of the year.


 


With the specs and the price point, I think the bZ4X could become popular if Toyota makes it available in high enough volume.A driver fell asleep at the wheel causing a 3-car accident - including a parked car and pedestrian - on I-35 in Shawnee.


 


The Kansas Highway Patrol Crash Log indicates that just after 3:10 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 9, emergency crews were called to the area of I-35 and Shawnee Mission Parkway with reports of a 3-vehicle crash.


 


It was reported that Yael L. Mera Delgado, 19, of Shawnee, told officials he fell asleep at the wheel when his 2011 Dodge Avenger went off the road and hit a legally parked 2004 Acura TL and its driver, Bradle Travis Small, 29, of Kansas City, as he attempted to change a tire.


 


KHP noted that the Avenger came to a stop only after it hit a 2017 Ford Transit Van driven by Connor Anthony Price, 23, of Lees Summit.According to officials, Mera Delgado and Small were taken to a local hospital with suspected minor injuries. Price was released from the scene with no apparent injury.
