Lexus has prepared six tuned hybrids for their booth at SEMA this year.
Toyota will be recalling 1.5 million vehicles worldwide due to a possible brake fluid leak. Honda will be conducting a similar recall as well, on an unknown number of cars.
Toyota has announced a limited service campaign (LSC) to fix oil hoses on certain vehicles equipped with VVT-i engines. It’s important to note that this isn’t a safety recall, as it shouldn’t have any dangerous consequences if not fixed, but rather a step taken by Toyota to increase customer satisfaction.
Toyota hybrids may be banned in the USA, and presumably in Canada as well, because a company called Paice claims some of the cars violate their patents. They have filed for a lawsuit because of this.
