Guangzhou Toyota not affected by recalls

However, demand for cars made by Guangzhou Toyota Motor, a joint venture down south with the Japanese car-maker, says it has not suffered too much from the recent recall crisis.

According to officials from the company's parent group Guangzhou Automobile Industry, this is because they used different car parts and different technologies. And that these were not defective. In fact, according to the same officials, sales are still good, with production falling short of market demand. They have promised to work closely with Toyota to help it regain rebuild its brand in China.
