More Recalls for Toyota

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Toyota Motor Corp. said Wednesday it would recall more than 200,000 Highlander and RAV4 sport utility vehicles to fix a malfunction with the "check engine" light.
Toyota Motor Sales USA Inc. said its special service campaign involved 60,700 four-cylinder Highlander SUVs from the 2001-2003 model years and 159,100 RAV4s from the 2001-2002 model years.


Toyota said it had received 80 reports of the "check engine" light illuminating inadvertently because of an issue with the vehicle's engine control module. The automaker said the light did not affect the vehicle's operation.


Toyota will notify owners of the problem in mid-December, and dealers will reprogram the module at no charge. Customers with questions can contact the company at (800) 331-4331.
