While servicing of the unit is pending, we urge our customers to take extra precautions when driving on uneven roads,&quot; the statement said.

Toyota Motor Philippines on Tuesday said it would initiate a special service campaign to replace some curtain shield airbag computer of select Toyota Rush units which may have "programming issues."
