Toyota recalls 85 cars from Zimbabwe over defects

Toyota Zimbabwe is set to recall 85 units that have been found to have the glitch plaguing the car giant across the globe.

This comes following a global recall of 6,5 million vehicles, made up of 5 860 000 from the overseas market and 600 000 from the Japanese market.

The cars affected include Camry sedan and RAV4 and Highlander Sport utility vehicles.

The glitch is on vehicles equipped with a driver's side Power Window Master Switch (PWMS) containing sliding electrical contact modules that could lead to fire.

Toyota Zimbabwe national sales and marketing manager Carl Varga said they have made a list of vehicles sold and will contact the clients.

He said the affected vehicles are the ones that are at least five years old.
