Toyota recall update
March 27th, 2010 by Richard Aucock
TOYOTA reports a big effort from car dealers has helped it fix over two thirds of its recalled models after 6 weeks.
That equates to 119,000 cars receiving attention from the Toyota UK car dealer network.
‘The rapid progress has been made possible thanks to the commitment and hard work of the teams at Toyota’s network of more than 200 dealerships around the country,’ Toyota said in a statement.
Such official recognition of car dealers’ efforts will be fine reward for retailers and service centres.
These owners have also been surveyed by Toyota – and the results show that 96 percent were satisfied with their experience of the recall process.
Sales have been busy too, says Toyota. 3439 cars were registered in February. That is up 15 percent on 2009. Toyota reports the demand has continued through March.
It is positive news for the embattled brand; Car Dealer Magazine will continue brining you news of the recall process, and how dealers are helping the firm recover.

Toyota can’t catch a break , a global recall of hybrid cars confirms the issue was more than they lead on , they attempted to hide the seriousness of the problem. Until a never seen before amount public and government pressure caused them to come clean . http://www.car-recalls.info 2010 will sure be a record breaking year for auto recalls with every major car companies feeling the pain . I looked and discovered my car was recalled . I’m just in shock at the huge volume of recalls this year and its only the 3rd month
