We all have moments in our lives when we feel like the wheels are coming off, but Toyota is cautioning those who bought one particular model of their selection of SUVs that the situation may not simply be metaphorical if they continue driving it.
In a statement, the automobile manufacturer said a glitch in the production of their bZ4X electric SUV has been identified that causes the wheels to suddenly fall off, and that they would buy back the vehicles from customers.
The source of the problem is the hub bolts that fasten the wheel to the car and their propensity to loosen while driving.
“We know that our customers have many choices when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. We appreciate their loyalty and are supporting them through this recall. However, if a customer does not want to proceed with the provided options, we will offer to repurchase their bZ4X,” the statement reads.
In addition to offering to buy the vehicles back, Toyota is also offering owners of the bZ4X the option to use another Toyota vehicle for free until the company determines how to fix the issue.
