Japonezii de la Toyota sunt fortati de catre NHTSA sa retraga in service peste 280.000 de unitati pentru ca au probleme tehnice grave.
Este vorba de transmisia lor care nu ramane blocata in pozitia Park, adica masina poate sa “o ia la vale” fara ca soferul sa tie constient.
Aceasta situatia a mai aparut in SUA in anii 60-70 cand foarte multi oameni au murit calcati chiar de catre masinile lor care au iesit in Park, NHTSA fortand toti constructorii sa introduca un buton pentru a trece cutia in Park din Drive sau Neutru.
In acest moment sunt vizate modelele americane Toyota Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, Lexus LX600, si 2023-2024 Sequoia Hybrid.
Americanii spun ca aceste masini pot sa sufere: Consequence: “Unexpected vehicle movement can increase the risk of a crash.
Certain parts of the transmission may not immediately disengage when the vehicle is shifted to the neutral position. This can allow some engine power to continue to be transferred to the wheels and can allow the vehicle to inadvertently creep forward at a low speed when it is on a flat surface and no brakes are applied, leading to an increased risk of a crash.”
