“The problem, we found is in the differential carrier mounting nuts, which becomes loose, and on long usage could lead to oil leakage. It has been detected in about 20,000 Innovas,” Toyota Kirloskar Motor Deputy Managing Director K K Swamy told PTI.
Innovas manufactured only between April and October 2007 have been recalled to repair the faulty part. “We have experienced this problem only in India, probably due to the road conditions here as the same vehicle elsewhere in the world are not facing any such problems,” Mr Swamy added.
The company said it would take about an hour to repair the faulty part. If the part was not repaired, in worst scenario it could lead to stalling of vehicle. Innova is Toyota’s best selling vehicle in India and it sold 34,786 units in the April-December period of the ongoing fiscal.
