Toyota has issued a global recall for its fully electric SUV, the bZX4 due to a major safety issue. As it turns out, the company has discovered that the wheels of the SUV could come off in certain situations.

According to a report by Reuters, sharp turns and sudden braking may loosen up the hub bolts on the EV’s wheels. In a separate recall notice by Toyota USA, the automaker noted that this could take place during low-mileage use.

However, the same notice also pointed out that the cause of this issue as well as driving patterns that may trigger it are still not yet known for the time being. Hence, the company insisted that nobody should drive their bZX4 for the time being until it is able to fully fix the issue.

Reuters report further said that this recall notice affects 2,700 bZ4X across the world with the majority of them coming from the European markets. At the same time, Subaru is also implementing a similar move for its Solterra which is essentially a rebadged variant of the bZ4X.

Made its debut back in April 2021 as the bZ4X concept, the RAV4-like SUV is the first of 15 pure electric models that Toyota has planned to release globally by 2025. With a general rollout date of mid-2022 all over the world, there have been reports that the bZ4X will be making its way to Malaysia sometime in 2023.

Equipped with a 71.4kWh battery, Toyota said that the front-wheel-drive version of the SUV can go up to 500km according to the WLTC standard while the four-wheel-drive variant has a maximum range of 460km. Naturally, it is hard to tell whether the safety issue will push back the EV’s release date for our market.

Then again, we don’t think you should give it much thought about it anyway since 2023 is still so far away. Certainly, there is ample time for Toyota to fix any issues before releasing the bZ4X in Malaysia.
