After announcing that it will expand its recall to Europe, Toyota provided official numbers today. Similar to the U.S. recall, the European recall involves eight models: the Auris, Avensis, Aygo, Corolla, iQ, RAV4 Verso and Yaris. All of these vehicles are affected by defective accelerator pedals. In total, about about 1.8 million vehicles need fixing.

Model years

  • AYGO (Feb 2005 – Aug 2009)
  • iQ (Nov 2008 – Nov 2009)
  • Yaris (Nov 2005 – Sep 2009)
  • Auris (Oct 2006 – 5 Jan 2010)
  • Corolla (Oct 2006 – Dec 2009)
  • Verso (Feb 2009 – 5 Jan 2010)
  • Avensis (Nov 2008 – Dec 2009)
  • RAV4 (Nov 2005 – Nov 2009)

Unlike in the U.S., Toyota Europe will not halt the production of any models because replacement parts are already being used at its various assembly plants.
