Adding to "Hybrid electric vehicles" Section

Hello! I was thinking about updating the “Hybrid electric vehicles” section of the Wikipedia page to mention the new engine that is being used in a few of Toyota’s hybrid vehicles. I’ve included the section below and highlighted in green the things I would like to add to the section. Please let me know if these changes are unnecessary or if it needs any improvisation!

Hybrid electric vehicles

Main article: Toyota hybrid vehicles

See also: Hybrid Synergy Drive and Toyota Prius

See also: Toyota Dynamic Force engine

The Toyota Prius, flagship of Toyota's hybrid technology, is the world's best-selling hybrid car. Toyota is the world's leader in sales of hybrid electric vehicles, one of the largest companies to encourage the mass-market adoption of hybrid vehicles across the globe, and the first to commercially mass-produce and sell such vehicles, with the introduction of the XW10 Toyota Prius in 1997. The company's series hybrid technology is called Hybrid Synergy Drive, and it was later applied to many vehicles in Toyota's product lineup, starting first with the Camry and the technology was also brought to the luxury Lexus division. Some of the new and upcoming hybrid vehicles being offered from the company incorporate Toyota's T24A-FTS engine (referred to as the “i-Force Max” engine in North America) to further streamline the engine and motor interactions. This engine is specifically aimed to improve fuel efficiency and acceleration.

As of January 2020, Toyota Motor Corporation sells 44 Toyota and Lexus hybrid passenger car models in over 90 countries and regions around the world, and the carmaker has sold over 15 million hybrid vehicles since 1997. The Prius family is the world's top-selling hybrid gasoline-electric vehicle nameplate with almost 4 million units sold worldwide as of January 2017.

I wouldn't. Some Dynamic Force engines are used as hybrids and some are not. The engines themselves are not what make them special. It's the transmission (HSD) and the software that decides how to balance petrol vs electric that makes them special.  Stepho  talk  08:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. Even though the HSD and software play crucial roles in hybrid vehicles, couldn't the increased torque and power output of the newer Dynamic Force engines also increase the threshold for distributing/flexibility for managing engine load? Wouldn't this contribute to the overall efficiency and performance of the hybrid system? AlNhan (talk) 19:22, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

Adding to "Takata Airbag Recalls" Section

Hello! I was thinking about updating the “Takata Airbag Recall” section of the Wikipedia page to mention the number of vehicles affected by the recall, which Toyota claims is approximately 50,000 US vehicles (NPR Source / Toyota Source). Additionally, it does not include specifically the models of Toyota vehicles that are affected by this recall. I’ve included the section below and highlighted in green the things I would like to add to the section. Please let me know if these changes are unnecessary or if it needs any improvisation!

Takata airbag recalls

See also: Takata airbag recalls

Toyota was impacted by a recall of faulty airbag inflators made by Takata. The inflators can explode, shooting metal fragments into the vehicle cabin. Millions of vehicles produced between 2000 and 2014 were impacted by the recall, with some needing multiple repairs.

On January 25, 2024, Toyota released a press statement that over 50,000 vehicles in the United States and 7,300 vehicles and Canada were issued an immediate DO NOT DRIVE advisory for model year 2003-2004 Corolla, 2003-2004 Corolla Matrix, and model year 2004-2005 RAV4 vehicles that were involved in the Takata airbag recall (2)(4).

Toyota has advertised a free repairment or replacement of affected vehicles at local Toyota dealerships. Additionally, the company offers mobile repair at the vehicle’s location, towing to the dealership, vehicle pickup and delivery, or other alternate transportation options for affected drivers during the repairing process (1)(3).

 Fixed It wasn't the link to his page that was broken (which doesn't exist), it was the link to the Harvard reference that was broken.  Stepho  talk  02:55, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
