The parts needed for the Toyota Prius 2010 to 2012 models that were recalled earlier this year are yet to arrive in Fiji.

Asco Motors, Chief Executive, Craig Sims says they expect the parts to be here by next month.

Sims adds this was a global recall and like Fiji, many other countries are still waiting.

“We’ve had a little bit of a trouble because we’ve only sold about 107 Prius in Fiji of the several thousands. Therefore, we have been liaising with Government and Land Transport Authority to get registration details – you’ll see a lot more parts that hasn’t been sold yet so that will come into the mix as well. It is a little bit of a moving target but we’ll do everything that we need to do.”

The vehicles were recalled because of a possible default in its air bag inflators.
