Toyota restarts output of first EV after fixing safety issues
Toyota Motor (US.TM) Corp said it would restart production of its first electric vehicle, the bZ4X, on Thursday after fixing potential safety problems that had halted sales of the new battery-powered model for more than three months.
Japan's largest automaker, a laggard in the EV market, recalled 2,700 bZ4Xs globally in June after discovering that there was a risk the car's wheels could come loose.
Subaru Corp a fifth owned by Toyota, also had to recall units of the related Solterra model that it jointly developed with Toyota.
