Toyota Recalls Etios And Etios Liva

Toyota Etios Recall
Toyota Kirloskar has announced the recall of several Etios And Etios Liva following an issue with a filler hose . The Japanese carmaker has stated there the problem could lead to some problems in the car and hence has decided to replace the filler hose immediately.

In its Facebook fan page for the Etios, Toyota has made a statement that reads: “We had observed a few cases of potential aberration in the filler hose in some of our Toyota Etios & Etios Liva vehicles. As a part of our Customer First philosophy, we are conducting a Special Service Campaign to check and replace the filler hose of Etios & Etios Liva cars manufactured till 8th October 2011."

“We are conducting this campaign as a precautionary measure in order to ensure safety & happiness of all our Etios & Etios Liva customers. We have also made an announcement in the newspapers in this regard."

“You may be contacted by your Toyota dealer in the next few days in this regard. Alternately, we request you to please contact your Toyota Dealer for an appointment. The service check is estimated to take less than 45 minutes and will be free of cost."

This is probably the first such recall by Toyota in India. The Etios and Etios Liva are the carmaker's most recent models. These two cars are its entry level models and have been received well. The Toyota has stated this recall will be for cars built until eighth October. The Etios and Etios Liva have been appreciated well but there were skeptics who said Toyota was compromising on quality by moving towards mass volume cars. Are the skeptics being proved right?
