CPA To Toyota : Recall Your Corolla in Egypt

Consumer Protection Authority has obliged Toyota Egypt to recall its Toyota Corolla 2008 MMT and 2009 MMT from the market and to fix its defects on the company’s expense.

There are no less than 6500 Toyota Corolla 2008 and 2009 in Egypt according to the authority which issued its statement today after investigating 22 complains from owners of the two models in Egypt.

According to what I understand there is a serious defect in the transmission in the Corolla models 2008 and 2009 MMT which were manufactured in South Africa.

Now the authority is asking the owners of the Corolla 2008 or 2009 MMT who bought it from Toyota Egypt and its dealers in the country to call this number : 16550 in order to fix their car for free.

Of course there is bad news for the owners who bought these two models from the Gulf ,you have to pay :(

Toyota Corolla is favorite car Egyptian expats usually bring from the Gulf.

Bad days for Toyota all over the world I suppose , I won’t be surprised to read in the coming days that some of its executives have committed suicide !!
