Toyota Motor says Singapore not affected by vehicle recall
SINGAPORE: Toyota Motor Corp is recalling more than 1.35 million
vehicles worldwide due to faulty seatbelts and exhaust pipe defects.
Affected vehicles are the Belta, Ractis and Vitz models assembled
in Japan. The Vitz subcompact is known as Yaris in Singapore and many
other markets.
When contacted by Channel NewsAsia, Toyota Motor Asia-Pacific's
general manager of External Affairs, Enomoto Masato, said the models
that the company sells in Singapore are not affected as they are
assembled in Thailand.
It, however, could not rule out models which were parallel imported
into Singapore from Japan. Toyota said owners of such vehicles should
seek advice from the dealers they bought from.
Toyota said on Wednesday it is recalling 830,000 Yaris cars in overseas markets including US, Europe, Canada and Australia.
In Japan, it is recalling a total of 525,898 Vitz, Belta small car and Ractis compacts built from January 2005 to April 2008.

not affected den why still make a big hoo-ha? xD
Its Singapore, what do you expect? :P
Because there are PIs which import the Vitz, so while Borneo isn't panicking I think the JDM Vitz owners are in for a big headache.
