WOODSTOCK, Ont. – Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it’s recalling some 99,000 RAV4 vehicles, some built at an Ontario plant, from Canadian roads to fix a suspension problem that could cause crashes.
The company is also recalling 778,000 RAV4 SUVs and Lexus HS 250h sedans in the U.S. to work on the problem.
A spokeswoman for Toyota Canada said the affected vehicles were built in Canada and Japan.
In Canada, RAV4s are manufactured at a plant in Woodstock, Ont.
Canadian customers can call 1-888-TOYOTA8, visit toyota.ca or their dealership. A detailed letter will be mailed to customers in the fall.
The company says if rear suspension nuts aren’t tightened properly after a wheel alignment, the arms can rust and separate from the vehicle.
