MUMBAI (Thomson Financial) – Japanese carmaker Toyota’s Indian unit Toyota Kirloskar will recall 20,000 of its multi-utility vehicle Innova in India, which were manufactured between April and October 2007, to repair a faulty part that could lead to oil leakages, The Financial Express reported, citing the company.

Toyota (nyse: TM – news – people ) Kirloskar Motor’s deputy managing director KK Swamy was quoted as saying: ‘We found there was a small problem in the rear axle of about 20 vehicles that came to us for servicing.’

The report said the problem, detected in about 20,000 Innovas, comprising 15 pct of the vehicles sold, is in the differential carrier mounting nuts, which may loosen and cause oil to leak.

The report quoted the company as saying it is experiencing this problem only in India, and that it might have occurred because of India’s road conditions.
