Aside from this recall, earlier in the year, the Avanza and Veloz underwent another recall due to issues related to the strength of their side impact beams. This came about after the discovery that certain vehicles had inadequately welded side impact beams. Plus, even earlier than that, in January, the Avanaza, Veloz, and Raize were recalled for a compromised brake cylinder slide-pin boot.
