Toyota announced a voluntary recall of Toyota Corollas and Matrixes equipped with 1ZZ-FE engines. The issue, which affects units sold from 2005 to 2008, involves the engine control module, and includes the potential for it to develop a crack on the module's circuit board, which can result in the car not starting, the transmission shifting harshly, or the engine stalling. Additionally, Pontiac announced a voluntary recall of Pontiac Vibes from years 2005 to 2008 for the same issue.
