Do you own a Corolla Altis, Innova Crysta or a Fortuner? If yes, then this might concern your vehicle. Toyota has trigged a voluntary recall for the petrol-powered variants of the said models, manufactured between November 13, 2017, and April 4, 2019. That’s 508 days or, one year, four months and 23 days. The company wants to replace the fuel pump as it might have a problem.

As is the case with voluntary recalls, the entire operation of inspection and replacement will incur zero cost to the customer. Toyota dealers will reach out to customers who had purchased models which meet the above criteria. There will be people who don’t want to wait and require clarity or more information about the recall. They can reach out to Toyota via the nearest authorised dealership or through the call centre. The said initiative becomes Toyota’s second voluntary recall in 2020. In January, several units of the Prius produced between December 8, 2015, and October 3, 2017, were recalled for the replacement of the front seat belt kit.

Although the Corolla Altis has now gone out of production, along with three other Toyota models, it did perform well in the D-segment sedan space until the SUVs stole the show. As for the Innova Crysta and the Fortuner, they together bring home bread-and-butter for Toyota Kirloskar Motor. Over the years, the Innova brand has become synonymous with the very definition of a reliable MPV. Earlier this week, a limited-edition variant quietly went on sale. The Fortuner, on the other hand, has established itself as the king of the segment.

Last month, Toyota introduced the Vellfire MPV in India. It arrives via the CBU (Completely Built Unit) route and currently has a sticker price of Rs 79.5 lakh. The model has a self-charging hybrid powerplant, just like the Camry Hybrid.
