Toyota recalls 690,000 Chinese made cars

Toyota, the world’s biggest carmaker, is recalling almost 690,000 cars made in China because of faulty electrical window switches.

The recall affects the company’s Camry, Corolla, Vios and Yaris models made at two joint ventures in China – Guangzhou Auto and Tianjin FAW.

This represents Toyota’s biggest recall of cars in China.

The company said that no injuries or accidents had been reported as a result of the faulty electrics.

“The size of the recall is big, but won’t be a major problem for Toyota given the nature of the defect. Still, there will be some impact in the short term,” said Huang Zherui, analyst at CSM worldwide.
