Back in July this year, Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM) triggered a voluntary recall for more than 6,000 units of the Glanza. That was to check for a possible problem with the fuel pump motor. A couple of weeks later, the count soared by over 3,000 units. And now, it has extended the safety-related service campaign to more models – with additional 1,257 units.

The new count includes other petrol-powered models – Innova Crysta, Fortuner, Camry and the Corolla Altis – manufactured between December 13, 2018, and August 28, 2019. All these models, like the Glanza, will be inspected for a faulty fuel pump motor. If need be, the replacement of the defective part will be done at no cost to the customer. Authorised Toyota dealers will contact the owners of the possibly affected vehicles to address the issue at the earliest.

If you think your Toyota might be a part of this recall, you can get a confirmation by either contacting the nearest dealer or by reaching to TKM directly via the call centre. The company hasn’t released a model-wise bifurcation of recalled vehicles, and neither has it clarified about how long does the entire process take for one car. Our recommendation would be to clear out at least 1-2 hours for this job.

Toyota has been relatively busy ever since India started to unlock itself from May 2020. It made upward price revisions for Glanza, Yaris, Fortuner and Innova Crysta. The sedan also received a portfolio adjustment. Apart from those developments, the Japanese carmaker introduced the Fortuner TRD in August 2020, and the Urban Cruiser in the following month. The latter, which is essentially a mildly tweaked Vitara Brezza, is Suzuki and Toyota’s second lovechild for India. And, in case you didn’t know, the company has taken away the Innova Touring Sport model from the website. Will it make a comeback in a refreshed avatar? Only time will tell.
