How Safe Is Your Vehicle?

Toyota has opened itself up to a lot of problems recently with the recall they had on some faulty manufacturing. The ‘Mail Online’ has said that around 270,000 of the petrol electric hybrids may have to be checked. Toyota hasn’t officially stated that they are having a recall but have admitted that the new models have a software problem that is affecting the brakes!

Toyota has already recalled 8 million of their vehicles over fears of faults with the accelerator and the brakes. Obviously, these are the two main components of a car in particular if the brakes don’t work then you’re definitely in trouble!

The first claim made by a driver was back in September. His Solicitor was representing him to win a case where his Toyota had run into a brick wall at 30mph because the brakes wouldn’t work!! Not surprisingly he suffered serious head injuries.

Seven of the Toyota vehicles have been affected in Britain according to the ‘Mail Online’ these vehicles are :

1. Auris
2. Avensis
3. Aygo
4. Corolla
5. IQ
6. Verso
7. Yaris

The only good news to report about this, is that Toyota will pay for all repairs to vehicles that have been recalled (and so they should!!)

Should you be the unfortunate driver or even the passenger of one of these faulty vehicles and you suffer any kind of injury in relation to this please do contact an independent Personal Injury Solicitors so that they can look into claiming compensation for you and your injuries.
