In just two months since the launch of its recall programme, Toyota has successfully processed 80 per cent of the UK cars that required adjustment to their accelerator pedal. The numbers involved were huge – more than 180,000 cars – but unstinting efforts by the teams at Toyota service centres across the country ensured owners have been able to have their vehicles fixed at their convenience, with minimum delay.
The programme also ensured no new or used vehicles were sold without first receiving the required adjustment.
In spite of the high profile recall programme, Toyota continued to prosper in terms of new car sales, with healthy increases posted both in March and the first quarter of the year.
