UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd says there are no complaints on power steering in Toyota Corolla models in Malaysia so far.
This is due to the different body and size, thus different components used as compared with models in the U.S., it said in a statement Friday.
“We would like to reaffirm and emphasise to our customers in Malaysia that all Toyota Corolla models sold by us are not affected by this issue,” it said in response to reports that the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating power steering complaints on Toyota Corolla models in America.
On the recall of Toyota Tacoma pick-ups in the U.S. due to defective drive shafts, UMW Toyota Motor clarified that the model was not sold in Malaysia and was completely different from the Hilux pick-up sold by the company.
“The drive shaft used in our pick-up model is different from the one used in Toyota Tacoma,” it said.

Corolla is know to be one of the best reputed brand all over the world and i don’t think such a giant firm will do such silly mistakes which will effect its goodwill and customer.
Yes it is true defect in Corolla cars will be in particular models not in all and i am sure Corolla will replace the cars and solve the defect.
