Toyota Australia Suspends Aurion TRD Sales


Toyota has withdrawn its all-new high-performance sports sedan Aurion TRD from the Australian market due to an engine failure of a dealer vehicle. The top version of the Camry based Aurion was developed by Toyota Racing Developments (TRD) and it’s equipped with a supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 329 Hp (details & pics here). According to Toyota Australia, the incident that sparked the suspension of sales stemmed from a single Aurion that had an issue in the hands of a dealer salesperson. ''The issue appears unrelated to the supercharger or the engine power output. At the moment, we believe this is a one-off issue”, commented Toyota Australia spokesman Mike Breen. -Continued: Click "Read More..." below

According to Breen, Toyota Australia has circulated about 150 Aurion TRD’s in dealerships or for marketing purposes. ''We expect it will take about two hours per car, and about one week to run through the process,'' Mr Breen says.

''A handful of cars have already gone out to customers, who we believe have no reason to be concerned. If they would like to speak to their Toyota dealer we encourage that and the dealer will take the appropriate steps.''
