UMW Toyota Motor has issued a statement regarding reports in the news regarding a voluntary safety recall campaign issued by Toyota Motor Corporation on approximately 550,000 units of certain Toyota and Lexus models in Japan and other countries.
The exercise seeks to replace the crankshaft pulley on the V6 engine affecting 283,200 Toyota and 137,000 Lexus vehicles in the US, with the remaining total being in other markets. In this case, there’s a possibility that the crankshaft pulley may become misaligned, causing noise or illumination of the discharge warning light and in some cases result in a sudden increase in steering effort.
The recall involves the following Toyota models – the 2004 and 2005 Camry, Highlander, Sienna and Solara, the 2004 Avalon and the 2006 Highlander HV, while affected Lexus models are the 2004 and 2005 ES 330 and RX 330, as well as the 2006 RX 400h.
UMW Toyota said through the statement that it has received confirmation from TMC that all Toyota and Lexus models sold by UMW Toyota are not affected by this voluntary safety recall exercise, and as such, advises its customers that there is no cause for concern on this matter.

Comments mainly express skepticism about the impact of Toyota's recall on Malaysian models, noting that the affected V6 engines are not sold in Malaysia by UMW Toyota. Many commenters emphasize Toyota's reputation for reliability, contrasting it with issues faced by Proton and Perodua, and praise Toyota for being better than other brands. There is some criticism of UMW Toyota's handling of recalls, with claims that Malaysians are ignored regarding repairs. Additionally, some comments divert into off-topic debates about car aesthetics and brand loyalty. Overall, the sentiment is mixed: many applaud Toyota's quality and reliability, while a few express frustration over perceived double standards or lack of transparency concerning the recall's relevance to local models.
