This seems excessive, but when it comes to safety, poor welds on a part like this could cost somebody their life. If the drivers safety belt guide loop mount was not welded to specifications, then in a crash of sufficient severity, the mount could become damaged and may not restrain the driver as designed which would increase the risk of injury to the driver, the recall explains.The reason for the faulty welds is that the supplier used inadequate parts for the welding tool, and because its welded to the frame, its not something that can easily be replaced.Four of the seven vehicles identified as having faulty welds have been fixed, er, replaced already; Toyota will contact the remaining three vehicle owners to have their vehicle inspected for the issue.

What was once the largest private collection of Volkswagens is now being put up for sale in Puerto Rico, and we’re not saying you need to buy all of them, but you should definitely buy some of them. According to The Drive, the collection is owned by Dr. Norman Gonzalez, and features over 170 vehicles from VW’s long and illustrious history. Gonzalez collected the vehicles over the span of about 60 years; roughly 99 per cent of the collection is made up of air-cooled cars. There are too many cool cars to list, and it would be physically impossible to pick our favourite. There are military vehicles, fire trucks, passenger cars, movie cars, race cars and even Porsche 914 track cars. The amount of flower-power in the Type 2 section could power all of Puerto Rico, and that’s without the sunshine-sharing glass panes in the multiple 21- and 23-window Buses, themselves worth a pretty penny or two. So why break up the collection now? The cost of the effort required to keep them all in good shape is starting to rise, and taking its toll on the good Doctor, now in his old age. Helping him sell the collection is Randy Carlson, host of the Discovery show Sticker Shock, who he met through a few past car sales. So far we have sold about 10 cars, and that is on the first day of official sales, Carlson said. There are dozens more that are being battled for right now and we haven’t even finished loading all the photos on the website yet.
