Toyota recalls 7,724 Porte cars

TOKYO —

Toyota Motor Corp said Wednesday it is recalling 7,724 of its Porte car for free repairs due to defective fuel systems. The four-wheel-drive vehicles in question were made between March 2006 and September 2007, Toyota said in a filing with the transport ministry.

The bolts attaching the hose to the fuel tank may not have been screwed down properly, causing possible cracks in the hose, Toyota said.

    Only 7,724 vehicles???? Made between March 2006 and September 2007? The product was a flop! How the hell does Toyota manage to pull the wool over the media's eyes? Trust me they have a lot of these models that sell only a couple of thousands per year and production gets pulled.

    Toyota moving backward with these kind of news over Porte cars. Time for toyota to make less mistakes, by reducing models and increasing quality/name.

    The Porte is marketed/sold only for the Japan market and not a global release car/wagon. Plus, the low clearance styling makes the Porte almost specifically for special use, such as transportation of elderly/special needs riders...

    It's not exactly a Corolla...
