August 27, 2010, by Jeffrey J. Kroll
Toyota, who has recalled over 10 million cars and trucks since October of 2009, has issued yet another recall. Today, the company stated that 1.33 million Corolla sedans and Matrix hatchbacks engines may stall due to a defective engine control module.
The recall covers 2005-2008 Corolla sedans and Matrix hatchbacks sold in the U.S. and Canada. Toyota has received unconfirmed reports of three accidents and one minor injury related to the defect.
Interestingly, General Motor Co has also issued a recall on 199,163 Pontiac Vibes in North America due to the same problem.
Toyota and GM claim that they will replace the defective part at no charge.
