SUMMARY:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2008 Corolla and Matrix vehicles. The Engine Control Module (ECM) for the subject models equipped
with the 1ZZ-FE engine and two-wheel drive may have been improperly manufactured. There is a possibility that a crack may develop at certain solder
points or on varistors on the circuit board.
CONSEQUENCE:
Harsh shifting could result, the engine may not start, or the engine could stop running while the vehicle is being driven increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will inspect the production number of the ECM and replace the ECM if necessary. This service will be performed free of charge. Toyota will
mail an interim owner notification the middle of September 2010 to advise owners of this defect and recall. This interim notification will inform owners
that they will receive a future notification when parts become available to have the free remedy performed on their vehicle. A schedule has not been set
for the future notifications. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
