国际英语新闻：Toyota owners get recall compensation

Local experts assumed that if Toyota applied the compensation plan to all Chinese consumers, it would cost the auto giant 20 million yuan.

Headed by Hideki Nagae, vice general manager of FAW Toyota Motor Sales Co. Ltd., a Sino-Japanese joint venture, the Toyota delegation also agreed to accelerate the recall, offer substitute vehicles and return purchase deposit.

To live up to its promise, Toyota has started providing door-to-door recall service in Zhejiang. It has so far finished fixing 90 percent of the recalled cars, offered 32 customers with substitute vehicles, and returned purchase deposit to 68 customers who had canceled purchase of the RAV4 vehicles, said the administration.

Toyota announced in January that it would recall more than 75,000 RAV4 vehicles in China due to an accelerator pedal problem, and almost 10 percent of the vehicles recalled were in Zhejiang.
