According to foreign media reports yesterday, when the United States had recalled Lexus and Camry’s vehicles in large numbers, Toyota had stated that the models sold in South Korea differed from those sold in the United States in that there were no problems with spare parts and there was no recall plan.

However, a survey released recently by the Institute of Automotive Functions of the Korean Traffic Safety Corporation showed that there are also problems with the above models sold in Korea. Therefore, Toyota Korea decided to fully recall the problem models, repair foot pads and accelerator pedals.

The security risks do not require recall.
