Equipment › Mechanical › Accessory Scissor/Screw/Bottle Jack/Lift

Filed Jan 16, 2002NC

CHANGING TIRE CAN BE DANGEROUS IN POOR LIGHT CONDITIONS. WRENCH HANDLE BECAME STUCK IN VEHICLE AND WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT CLIMBING UNDER CAR AND REQUIRED USE OF A FLASHLIGHT. CHANGING A TIRE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS COULD POSE A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND COLULD BE EASILY REMEDIED WITH A SIMPLE CHANGE IN THE WRENCH DESIGN. CURRENT DESIGN ALLOWS THE WRENCH TO BE USED BOTH IN LOWERING THE TIRE AND RAISING THE JACK. TOYOTA COULD PROVIDE TWO ENDS AT A SMALL ADDED COST TO THEM TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING.*AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
