Innovative auto brand Toyota and its friends here at Marion Toyota, conveniently located at 3300 W Deyoung Marion, IL 62959 and serving the surrounding areas, are extremely concerned about driver safety. That's why today we're here to provide you with information about the latest Toyota recall. On Wednesday, the company announced that around 752,000 Corolla and Corolla Matrix and several similar models in Canada, Japan, and Mexico that were manufactured from December 2001 to May 2004 are being recalled due to their air bags- which can improperly inflate.

Japanese automaker Toyota will release several new redesigns next year, including the Toyota Corolla and Toyota Tundra, as well as revising its Toyota Avalon, Toyota RAV4, and Toyota Highlander. One vehicle that may not be renewed for the United States, however, is the Toyota Matrix.

The year 2012 is quickly coming to a close, and automakers are rushing to get in some last minute sales. It's highly doubtful that any of these brands will rise to the current sales leader, Toyota, however, as the Japanese brand has recently grabbed back its title of world's largest automaker.

On Tuesday, Toyota released its 2012 North American Environmental Report which documents the company's commitment and respect for the planet and the environment.  Toyota is the most efficient full-line manufacturer with "zero-waste" plants.

Several items were highlighted in the report:

        Toyota has the most fuel-efficient fleet of any full-line auto manufacturer in the United States, and Prius accounts for half of all hybrids on the road in North America. In 2012, the Prius c and Prius Plug-in Hybrid joined the family.
