“TKM will recall approximately 8,700 vehicles in India to inspect the power window master switch (PWMS). TKM will conduct this campaign on a voluntary basis... the company requests its customers not to panic as this is not a safety hazard but only a precautionary measure, voluntarily carried out by the company,” the statement said.
The recall exercise will start from November across all Toyota dealers in India and owners will be contacted.
“Authorised Toyota dealers will inspect and replace (if deemed necessary) at no charge to the vehicle owner. The repair is expected to take approximately one hour, depending on the dealer's work schedule. No other Toyota models, sold in India, are covered by this recall campaign,” TKM said.
