Toyota is recalling 1.1 million Corollas and Corolla Matrixes sold in North America because improperly manufactured electronic control modules could, in limited instances, cause the engines to stall while the cars are moving.
Here are six things owners should know about the latest Toyota recall:
1. What cars are affected?
The Toyota recall involves Corollas and Corolla Matrixes from the 2005-08 years. The company has not yet released which vehicle identification numbers (VINs) are affected.
2. What’s wrong?
Certain electronic control modules, which make up the car’s computer, can develop a crack along solder points or on the component itself. In most instances, the worst that would occur would be a check-engine warning light, harsh shifting conditions, or an engine that wouldn’t start, the company said in a release.

A manufacturing defect of this magnitude should never happen. They’ve been making automotive electronics for decades. They should be able to do it without any problems.
