Toyota () Avensis: Possibility Of Tyre Deflation
- Recalling firm
- TOYOTA (GB) PLC
- Product
- Vehicles: TOYOTA () AVENSIS. Units affected: 39
- Reason
- On certain Avensis vehicles equipped with 16 inch steel wheels due to the shape of the wheel trim there is a possibility that the edge of the wheel trim may interfere with the sidewall of the tyre. Should this occur whilst the vehicle is being driven the wheel trims may rotate which could lead to interference with the tyre valve. In the worst case and if the vehicle is continuously driven in this condition loss of tyre pressure could ensue. Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have the steel wheels (standard equipment) replaced with aluminium alloy wheels.
