Toyota recalls 96,000 Corolla Cross in the United States

Toyota is voluntarily recalling 96,000 Corolla Cross in the United States and 13,806 in Canada for an airbag-related issue. The manufacturer Toyota announced through its website that it was recalling certain SUVs of the Toyota Corolla Cross model. According to the release, this is a safety non-compliance recall for certain model year 2022-2023 Toyota Corolla Cross (non-hybrid) sold in North America. According to the manufacturer, approximately 96,000 vehicles are affected by this recall in the United States.

Toyota Canada announced in a press release that 13,806 vehicles are affected by this recall in Canada. Based on available information, the front passenger airbag in affected vehicles may not deploy properly during an impact. A manufacturing problem in the part of the dashboard where the airbag is located would be at fault. As a result, vehicles may not meet certain federal requirements, increasing the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

For all affected vehicles, Toyota dealerships will inspect and, if necessary, replace the defective part free of charge. Until the affected vehicles are inspected, and corrective action is taken, if necessary, Toyota recommends that you do not sit in the passenger seat.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by the end of July 2023; the manufacturer could not confirm whether any incidents had been noted in connection with the recall. For information about safety recalls affecting Toyota and Lexus vehicles, and to check if your vehicle is subject to a recall, customers can visit Toyota.ca/recall or Lexus.ca/recall.

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023.
