Nuked Toyota is offering to buy back its bz4x SUV crossovers after recalling the vehicle in June. The recall involves loose hub bolts on the wheel that could cause it to detach while driving.
Toyota initially advised bz4x owners not to drive the vehicle. Suggested that they notify their local Toyota dealer so they can pick up and store the car while they wait on a fix. The company would then provide customers with a free loaner car in return.
A letter to customers obtained by Electrek reveals Toyota is offering freebies for the inconvenience. If an owner is n’t satisfied with these options, Toyota says it will buy back the $ 42,000 and up vehicle.
Toyota added that the buyback depends on the owner’s state and circumstances.’we appreciate their loyalty and are supporting them through this recall,’ said Toyota.
The recall affects about 2,700 vehicles, but it’s unclear how many have been delivered. Subaru solterra, built on the same platform, is also affected by the recall.
The bz4x marks Toyota’s first attempt at an all-electric vehicle. The $ 17 billion goal is to release 30 new EVs by 2030.
