Toyota and GM recall 662,000 cars in U.S.
DETROIT
(Reuters) - April 10, 2008 - Toyota Motor
Corp and General Motors Corp are recalling
more than 662,000 vehicles sold in the
United States due to defects in power
windows, the two companies said on
Wednesday.
Toyota will recall 539,500 Corolla and
Matrix vehicles for the 2003 and 2004 model
years, it said in a statement.
GM said it would recall 122,598 Pontiac Vibe
hatchbacks, which share the same platform
with Toyota's Matrix and are built by GM in
a joint venture with the Japanese automaker.
On vehicles equipped with power windows, the
driver and front passenger glass bolts may
loosen and cause the door glass to separate
from the window regulator, Toyota said.
Vehicles equipped with manual windows are
not subject to the recall.
Toyota will notify vehicle owners by mail,
beginning in late April. It advised owners
to contact their local Toyota dealer for
inspection and repairs.
Replacement of the driver and front
passenger door glass bolts will be done at
no charge, Toyota said.
