NEWS:
Recalls: Toyota FJ Cruiser
WASHINGTON, D.C.-- July
29, 2006 — Toyota will recall more than
9400 early-model 2007 FJ Cruisers
because of potential tire defects.
NHTSA
also reported that the inner bead of
tires on the FJ Cruiser may be damaged.
The recall affects vehicles equipped
with Bridgestone or Dunlop tires. If a
bead is damaged, a bulge may develop on
the sidewall of the tire, and air may
leak. NHTSA noted that this is not a
tire recall but a Toyota recall.
Customers will be instructed to bring
the vehicle to their Toyota dealer.
