Toyota has recalled more than 2,000 all-electric SUVs over problems that could cause the wheels or axles to detach from the vehicle, warning drivers if that happened it could “result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.”

Toyota instructed owners of the new bZ4X to immediately stop driving and alight from the vehicles due to the “embarrassing” development as Toyota Motor shares slipped on the news.

The Japanese company said the issue is with nuts or bolts on the bZ4X. This model recently went on sale in the U.S. and Europe with the recall aimed at some 2,700 vehicles sold in North America, Europe and Asia.

“After low-mileage use, all of the hub bolts on the wheel of the subject vehicles can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle,” a spokesperson said in a statement to CNBC.- READ MORE
