TOYOTA RECALLS AGAIN: 2003 SEQUOIA THIS TIME



Toyota seems to be in deep trouble this year, and its continuously loosing customer`s faith. There has been another recall on Wednesday  for thousands 2003 model Toyota  Sequoia SUV to repair a potential vehicle stability control (VSC) program.

The VSC system helps control a loss of traction during turns and in vehicles without the upgrade, the VSC system could, in some situations, activate at low speed and, as a result, the vehicle may not accelerate as quickly as expected. This recall is for about 50000 vehicles manufactured in 2003. Though there has been no accidents reported till date, It is a major issue as far as customers are concerned.Another Toyota SUV, the Lexus GX 460, was also recalled earlier this month because of a stability-control problem.
