Most Chinese consumers favor the recall. Some even say it has no big influence on their plans of buying Toyota cars, CNR reported.

However, according to some Toyota distributors, sales are suffering to some extent because of the recall.

Toyota authorities will start their visits to distributors and buyers in 35 Chinese cities and try to reduce the effect of the recall, according to media.
