UMW Toyota has issued a nationwide recall for models including the Camry, Corolla Altis, Vios, Yaris and RAV4 models. The recall aims to rectify the possibility of an improperly manufactured Takata airbag inflator on the side front passenger and front driver’s airbag.
Said flaw could cause the airbag to inflate abnormally in the unlikely event of an accident. The “special service campaign” affects a total of 97,000 units of said models assembled in the year 2001 to 2007 – UMW has stated that no other Toyota/Lexus model sold in Malaysia made before or after said period is affected.
UMW Toyota will contact affected customers regarding said campaign. Should replacement be deemed necessary, the defective inflator will be substituted with a new airbag inflator module at no cost to the owner.
Individuals with further questions regarding the campaign are advised to contact Toyota Malaysia at 1800-8-869682, from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5.30pm.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I really really hope UMW will put up large ads in the mainstream newspapers. Seriously.
Camry, Vios and the Corolla are UMW’s core sellers during that time, and for such a high profile case, we don’t want any more lives lost.
HahahahahahahahahahahahHagG
hahahahahahahaahh
Haahhahahahahaaahahaa
So where’s the quailty of the so called global car? If like this Toyota is worse than local car!
Toyota is willing to change your airbag even though it is 10 years old car, this called COMMITMENT!
You think Proton/kimchi cars will bother to do it? Do they care their 10 years customer like Toyota does? You slowly dream.
No recall doesn’t mean it is good. You don’t do body checkup doesn’t mean you won’t get cancer.
p1 got recalls lor but not airbags issue. Get your fact right.
2 airbags is already small, still they couldn’t get it right?
RIP Toyota
At least P1 dont have problems on their car’s safety..
I prefer power window problem rather than airbag,
value our life ..
P1car no airbag that time
even the car is total lost, the airbags never work. so, proton has no this issue. no need to change.
COMMITMENT to not being sued kaw-kaw you mean.
Airbag that act like grenade is not same as problematic power window.
SAme Loor is such a moron. Recall after 10 years is good? I already sold my vios to a bangla 5 years ago. How did it benefit me? Useless toyota treating their customers like dirt. Please upgrade yourself la same lor. Not everyone like you no money and Driving the same old shit for more than 10 years.
Moron,dengar sini.You ingat Proton tak pernah buat recall ke?Habis last year,Proton call Exora bold and Prime for engine parts calling?Please lah,get a life
Toyota will surely be out of my car list next year
Toyota out of my list 10 years ago
where’s sam loo …
without VSC, then problematic airbags,no side airbags
perfect formula for disaster.
toyota car prices going down, RV going down
Karam, don’t act like your R3 Satria is any better, it doesn’t even have VSC!
Pity the better equipped Preve and Suprima S can’t run. Even our battery car Prius C can beat you with 9.7s 0-100km/h.
Luckily I already left UMW and am now selling lingerie. Otherwise all my customers gonna taruk me kaw kaw for selling them a rotten junk that endangered their lives all this while. Now my junior salesman kena hantam teruk
My Mondeo got 7 air bags but all are ok wooo…
Toyota camee, atik, veeoos, yalees… ada 2 biji saja pun tak boleh pakai?!
Why ah?
RV king ah? Sam Loo, Same Looor ?
Sibeh lau kui..
where is big fat toyota salesman sam lorr??
To be more accurate the UMW toyota salesman.
UMW greedy and arrogant attitude has no more trust by existing and potential customers !!!
RIP AP UMW !!!
sam lor been recall by toyota for briefing of how to respond to bashers….
Yeah, should also recall because those cars don’t have traction control.
haha.. absolutely.. i dunno why but my instincts have always been to stay away from the useless toyotas.. i think this just confirms my instinct again.
Traction control is not that useful in Malaysia, what we need is ESP (or VSC as Toyota calls it)
traction control is useful too bro, u get more control on wet road and ur vehicle will be planted on the ground on slippery surfaces (not skidding)
This airbag news thingy had been on for so so so long already. All my honda owners friends have had their airbag replaced already. Now then UMW issu a recall to fix. Super late. Umw might be trying to see if it can’t avoid the fix. Profit 1st. Customers last. UMW another GLC company that will tarnish TOYOTA brand name in malaysia. Toyota Japan HQ, if you’re rewarinh this, time for you to really consider changing franchise, this one is going to sink your market share here very very soon. Not if but when.
All these while they tipu their customers saying their products are safe no need to replace faulty parts even though worldwide all said their cars are affected.
Why now only want to do recall?
After heard that the Sarawak Honda City owner sueing Honda, then only scared.
UMW is a dishonest company that is greedy to make a large profit on their overpriced CKD cars with low on safety and stupid bodykits. All these while they have been lying to the public stating their cars are safe.
The fact that Sam Loo has a lot of time being a keyboard warrior, means that sales must be pretty bad for Toyota since he got nothing to do buy to vomit Kimchi, Baguette, frankfurter, Swedish meatballs, English scones, lasagna or hamburgers. Eating too much sushi can get stomach ache.
UMW Toyota. The reality is you are selling unsafe cars. Please stop lying to the public.
Best wishes,
Wiwiwiwiwiw
Sam Loo must be crying now with his RV gone
Shambolic……UMW…ultimately PNB.
Thats why I have said PNB only wants the highest car prices,the rakyat have to suffer.
Cos of the need of PNB to declare voluptious dividends,UMW have to maximise profits,even delaying recalls…..
they have no morals at all.Maybe,someone in a Toyota has a mishap with the airbags…they quickly decide to buck up.They are the scum of car distributors.
Toyota Japan,don’t you have other capable bumiputra dealers to take over shambolic UMW ?
Sounds very fishy. Maybe the airbag incident thing happened recently on UMW Toyota cars, and they did some massive cover up. Now they suddenly theyre doing a nationwide recall.
Takata. The name is as infamous as Sam Loo/Same Lorr nowadays.
How many recalls Toyota aiming to achieve? New KPI for them to get as many recall as possible?
Vios, Camry, Corolla Altis……it’s pretty much everything they sell, and they are all crap.
did UMW delay the recall? the airbag problem been known for long time ago..
Earlier UMW said none of their cars are affected by the recall
Sam Loo is too busy sending out calling letters to all the owners.
When UMW toyota does recall: “Very responsible brand”, “thank you”, “takes care of their customers”
When Proton does recall: “XY57U%XB@+!”, “Lousy protong!”, “No quality!”, “Betta close shop!”
Dulu ada orang kata Proton letak banyak airbag tp BELUM TENTU boleh pakai..sekarang Toyota pulak sudah recall sbb airbags MEMANG tak boleh pakai..lol
ok.ok.ok
can we back to Toyota’s problem? and Toyota’s quality?
Toyota has airbags also no use coz its airbags are not working perfectly. I still can recall last time Same Lorrrr questioning p1 airbags working or not. So now eat your own words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
samelorr is hiding now..
while many dont agree with kimchi, at least im glad to have my kimchi…
Padan muka Sam Lorrrrrrr
Sam Loo Where are u hiding, long live Santa Fe.
Vios J (2007 – 2010) is not equipped with airbags.
The only Toyota without airbag perhaps?
Last time laugh at Honda, now Toyota also kena.hahaha
Wow.. Imagine you bought a car between 2001 to 2007, now UMW told you the airbags were improperly manufactured. First thing came to your mind – Thank God there were nothing happened for the past 8 to 14 years.
Within 2001-2007 sure a lot of Toyota owners moving to coffin already
I already made a police report about your comment.
why is my comment not going through? whats up admin? u have a problem?
Imagine you bought a car – equipped with airbags on 2001. Today Toyota told you the airbags were improperly manufactured. First thing you should do – Thank God your airbags were not needed for the past 14 years.
#What? It takes so long to diagnose the issue.
Kah kah kah….
Toyota RV will increase after this problem…
That is Why I said before, airbags not really good, people complain about 2 airbags in Toyota in Camry, See, In fact it can cause more problem. Hahahahahahahaha………….
airbags is good bro, only takata airbags (honda and toyota airbags supplier) is problematic. other than takata, everything seems ok until now. proton, kia, ford, vw, hyundai, no issue found so far.. one thing for sure, toyota RV will continue to sinking even more.. lol
Haiyo Jibby , Ong was poking fun sarcastically at Toyota seemingly low number of airbags in the core models sold in Malaysia and funnily they couldnt get them right hahaha
If toyota are doing after sales research & development, they would replace long time ago. Same as the pedal issue that after many people accident, complaint & sue toyota, then they start to do research.
there is one idiot who is missing in this post , hopefully got killed by a faulty airbag!!
Honda pun pakai takata
It’s a post about Toyota and i was expecting Sam Loo/Same Lorr to run his mouth here. Alas, i am disappointed he didn’t even make a sound to defend his employer. Too busy answering phone calls from disgruntled customers, perhaps.
at least toyota admit their problem and is willing to compensate the affected owners of this problem. Unlike so many other car manufacturer expecially VW…pfff
This is not the first time toyota faces a challenge. toyota will learn from the mistakes and grow stronger. Toyota will still be the KING in the automobile world !!
Toyota is no doubt king of the world. The things is in Malaysia, Toyota is king of profit. All thanks to UMW
WILL THE REAL SAM LOO PLS STAND UP?
King of automobile world for what? Produce more, more people moving to coffin. I’ll be forever banned Toyota brand, Toyota is bullshit
This is probably a reaction to the Honda Takata Airbag case which happened in Sibu years back and finally UMW finds it justified to recall the models sold. In this case Takata should be blamed. Toyota is just doing the obvious although it is quite late but better late than never. I wonder who else are using Takata’s?
Toyota said we do not have time to check every car produced.
I am sure there could be some accidents happen but the car owner never realise it or could be dead before finding out the real problem.
Hello brader Sam Loo nevermind no worry about this small mistake of air bag.small matter maaaaa.this small matter for u that have caused the death of one pregnant woman.how generous u are sam loo.i pray that your air bag will pop up and hit your face while driving then u know how serious this matter, how important safety of your wife and kids.
Toyota still good RV.. No question about that.
No 2nd hand car dealer want Toyota, waste their spaces for stock pile
If no used car dealer want Toyota, i can take in, but price surely will be Very Hailat Lorr (VHL). And all these cars will be either head to scrapyard or exported to other 3rd world countries so that i can buy and owned a brand new Mercedes (at least A200/A250) with cash payment.
To Axxx,
These days, not free to reply since a lot of Toyota owners rushing to sell their beloved Toyota to settle their whole stack of traffic summons (you knowlah, most Toyota drivers are barbarians, but since no money to settle as most of their income already dumped into river to pay their Toyota’s monthly installment because of terlebih gaya, so they have to sell their cars to avoid Polis Raja Di Malaysia haul them up and thrown them inside when Ops Warta will be started within few days)
As long as Toyota still no 1 and make profit this small problem of airbag is not a big problem and not important maaaa.
As long as Toyota still no 1 and make profit this small problem of airbag is not a big problem and not important maaaa.
death of pregnant woman is not big problem?
no,Toyota is still good on RI (Recall Issue). what a shame..
no, Toyota still has good RI (Recall Issue), what a shame!
hahahaha, where is the Toyota fanboy now? hiding in the underwear basket in Parkson and all major deparment stores???
Recall? more like refund…
Could you believe you have paid for a safety equipment that actually could kill you?
This is worse then Proton.
The power window doesn’t work, tail lights masuk air… all seem petty now, because you wont die.
Yes I totally agree Toyota good at RI(recall issue) ha ha ha ha.Shame on you Sam Loo just thinking about profit rather than safety.long live Santa Fe.
so late to recall
maybe they are waiting for the court decision regarding the death of malaysian driver cause by airbag
Great initiative as a preventative measure.
Takata is now like Korean Car owners, super hailat.
But in reality, kimchi airbags will fail to work after 24 months anyway, so better sell off the rotten cabbage after 1 year
This is the way of frustrating man…
Always blame other people..
Kah,,kah,,kah..
it has nothing to do with toyota or honda or bmw or watever. they just buy the parts and put on their cars only. these company dont design airbags though. this is same as they dont design battery, tires, speakers, etc. surely they have responsibility to make choices of good parts to install on their cars, but in the end, they are victims too.
its not a toyota issue only… other car makers also have a lot of issues… cheap plotong have thousand issues unsolved…
called 1800-8-869682…ring ring…ring ring……… no one answer. how bad can the customer service be. cant they create a parent site to check this ourself. inefficient customer service.
