原文內容：
Toyota has sent out a letter to bZ4X owners updating them about the company’s o
ngoing attempts to address a safety recall on the all-electric crossover. Toyota
has offered a number of options for its EV owners, even noting that it would re
purchase bZ4X units if needed.

Last June, Toyota initiated a recall on the bZ4X, its first mass-produced all-el
ectric SUV that’s designed to take on market leaders like the Tesla Model Y. Ac
cording to the company, the safety recall is due to the bZ4X’s wheels, which ma
y fall off due to an issue with the bolts that connect them to the vehicle.

Toyota highlighted that it is still in the middle of finding a remedy for its bZ
4X’s safety issues, but owners could rest assured that the company would do wha
t it can to address the vehicle’s faults. The Japanese automaker also noted tha
t bZ4X owners should not drive their electric cars until a fix is available.

As could be seen in Toyota’s letter, which was shared on social media, the auto
maker is giving owners a number of options about what they can do while their bZ
4x’s safety recall is still being addressed. Following is the text from the let
ter, as shared by u/fc0romero in the r/BZ4X subreddit.
