Toyota's push into the performance car market has stalled following the withdrawal from sale of the company's new TRD Aurion.
Sales of the Australian-built supercharged TRD were suspended after the engine failed in a dealer's test car.
“The TRD engineers are fairly certain that it is a one-off incident but we have taken the step to stop sales for the moment while we inspect every engine that has been built for the car,” Toyota Motor Company Australia spokesman Mike Breen said.
“The sales stoppage may last for about 10 days, just as long as it takes to inspect the 150 vehicles already built.”
Toyota said it would not be taking any action on the six cars sold before the engine failure came to light.
“At this stage we are not planning any action for the cars in the field but if owners are concerned we would encourage them to contact their dealer,” Mr Breen said.
The high-performance TRD Aurion, a first effort from the new Toyota Racing Developments workshop, was launched last month after more than 18 months development.
