Toyota Recalls a Bunch of SUVs and Pickups; Land Rover, Chrysler, Hyundai, Saab, and Kia Issue Smaller Recalls
By James B. Bleeker
In the U.S., Toyota Motor Corporation is recalling 978,000 1990-1995 4Runner sport utility vehicles, 1989-1995 4-wheel drive pickup trucks, and 1993-1998 T-100 pickup trucks due to a steering rod that could fracture.
In the U.S., Land Rover, a unit of Ford Motor Company, is recalling 17,263 2005 LR3 sport utility vehicles to replace fuel tanks.
In the U.S., the Chrysler Group is recalling 101,925 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokees - those with a 3.7 liter engine and an automatic transmission - due to a possible leak of condensed water from the air conditioning system into the transmission fluid and a consequent overheating of the transmission, ejection of transmission fluid, and combustion of the ejected fluid upon contact with the exhaust system. A shuddering transmission is a warning sign that should prompt the owner to immediately visit the dealership, even before notification of the recall.
In the U.S., Hyundai Motor Company is recalling 240,000 2004-2005 Elantra sedans due to computer software that may, under certain conditions, confuse a child seat for an adult occupant. The danger rests in the deployment of airbags when appropriate for adults, but potentially lethal for children.
In the U.S., Kia Motors Corporation, a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Company, is recalling 70,000 2004-2005 Kia Spectra sedans for the same reason Hyundai is recalling the Elantra (above). Also, Kia is recalling an unspecified number of Kia Sorento sport utility vehicles to replace a section of the fuel line due to a possible leak.
Globally, the Saab division of General Motors Corporation is recalling 287,987 2000-2002 Saab 9-3 and 9-5 vehicles for an ignition problem that may result in overheating.
