Such defective vehicles were produced between January 27 and March 24 this year.
Camry 3.5 bears Vehicle Identification Number lying between XXB 6001801 and XXB 6001810 while Camry 2.4 XXB 6008875 and XX 6009175.
Toyota Vietnam said it will replace such bolts with new ones free of charge.
Faulty cars are said to suffer from brake, screw, and seat problems.
It is estimated to take about 48 minutes to check and replace bolts for a car.
The Vehicles’ owners will receive a letter of invitation from TMV or they can check their cars’ situation by visiting the TMV official website at www.toyotavn.com.vn or directly contact with TMV agents nationwide.
TMV also recommends that the customers should set up an appointment before bringing their cars to its auto repair station.
Earlier Le Van Tach, an engineer working for Toyota, had released documents revealing three major glitches in Innova and Fortuner vehicles.
The cars made in Vietnam face balance issues since their screws are not tightened properly as instructed by the Japanese company, he said. The brakes and seats do not meet safety standards either, he said.
