Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), the Indian subsidiary of the Japanese giant, will be contacting customers of the 119 units individually and replacing the faulty part free of charge. It is being said that the suspension has a faulty ball joint which may result in the driver losing control over the vehicle. TKM confirms that, so far, there have been no complaints received regarding this issue from Indian customers. The replacement work will be completed in approximately two hours.
