Toyota Motors, one amongst the leaders in car manufacturing is planning to repair around 1.53 million Avalon and some other cars worldwide which are facing trouble with brake master cylinder seal and fuel pump wiring. The problem has been encountered mostly in the Unites States and Japan.

The company's announcement comes in a less than two months time. They recalled 1.3 million Toyota Corolla and Toyota Matrixin the United States and Canada as they were carrying defective engine control and because of which they could face problems in the car market. This car giant has recalled around 10 million wheelers in past, the primary reason being unintended acceleration. The company's reputation was at stake because of quality and safety regulators.

The Toyota company spokesperson to the Japan's transport ministry said that 600,000 wheelers of 11 models which includes high-end model of Crown Sedan and Lexus IS and GS versions were recalled. The reasons were wrongly done fuel pump wiring, cylinder seal or in some cars, both. The Toyota U.S. Sales personnel said it would change the 740,000 Avalon, Highlander, Lexus GS 300, IS 250 and IS 350 for the brake master cylinder seal to be replaced. This is being done because there can be a probability that brake fluid may leak from the cylinder, which may further cause the brake warning lamp and even light up the cars.

As Toyota is still in deciding phase to have an official recall in all the other market, they are planning to inquire in markets about the safety regulations. This was conveyed by the Tokyo based spokes person Paul Nolasco. The Toyota cars which have been recalled for repairs will be sold worldwide i.e, Europe, China, South America, Africa and Oceania. As per the spokesperson from Tokoyo, Nolasco, there were no accidents reported because of the car defects. He refused to throw light on the costing of the repairs and did not comment on the impact of the sales of the Toyota. As per the industry it will surely put the reputation on stake. With this news, the Toyota's share in the Tokoyo market went up by 0.4 per cent at 2,900 Yen.
