(October 6, 2022) TOKYO — Toyota finally has a fix to keep the wheels from falling off its new bZ4X all-electric crossover, an embarrassing glitch that forced the world’s biggest automaker to recall the vehicle just two months after starting sales and stalled the company’s drive into electric vehicles.

Production of the new bZ4X EV was to set resume today. Sales in Japan will restart Oct. 26. U.S. sales are expected to reopen shortly
.
Toyota announced the recall in June, just two months after the bZ4X went on sale. The callback also affected the Subaru Solterra, a rebadged version of the EV sold by Toyota’s partner. Globally, some 2,700 units of the bZ4X and 1,600 units of the Solterra were affected.
