Nigeria’s
online car market place, Carmudi has warned Nigerians against purchasing
recalled cars. Recalled cars are cars that automakers order for their return
after releasing them to the market. This is always due to some technical
problems resulting from parts omission in the factory during production.

it was documented that Toyota Hiace YH3 buses were recalled in Australia as a
result of fire in 1990 and recently in 2012. The 1990 safety recall closed
August 26, 2010, the period Nigeria started recording high Toyota Hiace crashes
involving fire incidents giving proof that most of these recalled cars made
their way to Nigeria.
