Subaru also announced a recall the same day on 2,600 of its Solterras, the company\u2019s first all-electric vehicle made in partnership with Toyota, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/autos-transportation\/toyota-recalls-2700-electric-vehicles-2022-06-23\/\">according<\/a> to a report from Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJapan\u2019s safety regulator said sharp turns and sudden braking could cause a hub bolt to loosen, raising the risk of a wheel coming off the vehicle. It said it was not aware of any accidents being caused by the defect,\u201d Reuters reported.<\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Toyota warned, \u201cNo one should drive these vehicles until the remedy is performed,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2022\/06\/24\/toyota-issues-recall-for-electric-suv-following-concerns-about-wheels.html\">according<\/a> to CNBC. Japan\u2019s safety regulators also said people should not drive the recalled vehicles until the company figured out a \u201cpermanent\u201d repair measure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe sincerely apologi[z]e for any inconvenience this causes you,\u201d Toyota said on its website. \u201cWe would have repaired it as soon as possible, but we are investigating the details.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A Subaru spokesperson said none of its recalled Solterras had been delivered to U.S. customers yet.<\/p>\n<p>The EV recall comes as some Democrats have touted switching from gasoline and diesel-fueled cars to EVs as gas prices hit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/breaking-u-s-national-average-price-of-gasoline-hits-new-all-time-record-high-report-says\">record highs<\/a> in recent months. Earlier this month, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tone-deaf-while-americans-suffer-inflation-dem-senator-brags-about-avoiding-gas-prices-with-her-ev\">bragged<\/a> about avoiding gas prices by driving her EV from Michigan to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI do have to say, on the issue of gas prices, after waiting for a long time to have enough chips in this country to finally get my electric vehicle, I got it and drove it from Michigan to here last weekend, and went by every single gas station. It didn\u2019t matter how high (gas prices) was,\u201d Stabenow said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so I\u2019m looking forward to the opportunity for us to move to vehicles that aren\u2019t going to be dependent on the whims of the oil companies and the international markets,\u201d the senator added.<\/p>\n<p>Biden Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/tell-me-youre-a-liberal-elite-without-telling-me-youre-a-liberal-elite-cruz-rips-buttigieg-pushing-evs-while-gas-prices-soar\">pushed<\/a> for Americans to buy EVs in a March press conference. \u201cLast month we announced a $5 billion investment to build out a nationwide electric vehicle charging network so that people from rural to urban to suburban communities can all benefit from the gas savings of driving an EV,\u201d Buttigieg said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Japanese automakers Toyota and Subaru announced a recall on their first mass-produced electric vehicles (EVs) Thursday because their wheels could potentially fall off.
