Toyota, Lexus remember virtually 700,000 new models for fuel pump failing

Toyota is recalling 695,541 brand-new Toyota and also Lexus cars for a fuel pump that can fall short, creating the engine to stall, which can raise the danger of a collision, the NHTSA revealed Monday.[auto door opener for cars]

An impeller in the low-pressure pump in the gas tank that provides pressure to the fuel shot system can flaw. The vehicle driver might be warned of the failure by a check engine light, or by the engine running harsh. The auto may not begin in all, or, at low speeds, the lorry can delay. The car can delay at greater rates "in unusual instances," Toyota acknowledged in documentation filed with the NHTSA.

Hybrid versions of the recalled designs have a sound setting that "does absent an unreasonable threat to safety," so Toyota is not yet recalling them. The solution is still being established, motivating Toyota to provide a stop-sale order to prevent Toyota/Lexus suppliers from selling the affected new vehicles still on dealership lots. The vehicles in question were made from very early August 2018 with late January 2019.

Impacted Lexus designs include:

2019 ES350

2018-2019 GS 200T/350

2018-2019 GX460

2018-2019 IS 300

2018-2019 LC500

2018-2019 LS500

2018-2019 LX570

2019 NX300

2018-2019 RC 300/350

2018-2019 RX350.

Affected Toyota designs include:

2018-2019 4Runner

2019 Avalon

2018-2019 Camry

2019 Corolla

2018-2019 Highlander

2018-2019 Land Cruiser

2018-2019 Sequoia

2018-2019 Sienna

2018-2019 Tacoma

2018-2019 Expanse

The stop-sale order works instantly. Owners of the afflicted lorries will certainly be notified by March 13. Once the remedy is known, the automobiles will certainly be repaired free of cost. Owners who have actually paid to deal with the car will certainly be compensated.[check this]

To see if your lorry is influenced, check out www.safercar.gov or call Toyota customer support at 1-888-27-9371 for recall number 20TB02 and 20TA02, or call Lexus customer care at 1-800-255-3987 for recall number 20LB01 and also 20LA01.

Longest-lasting vehicles: SUVs are way ahead

    If you’re looking for a reliable vehicle for the long haul, a big, sturdy SUV is hard to beat.

Full-sized utilities account for half of the 14 longest-lasting cars – those most likely to pass 200,000 miles – according to auto research site iSeeCars.com.

Analysis of 13.8 million car sales in 2018 revealed the Toyota Sequoia to be the longest-lasting vehicle of all, joined by six others in its class from Chevrolet, GMC, Ford and Lincoln.

With the midsize Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Toyota 4Runner also on the list, the long-running credentials of SUVs appear even stronger. But while the utility segment dominates, there are other options.

The longest-lasting car is the Toyota Avalon sedan, while the Honda Odyssey minivan represents the out-and-out family hauler. There are three pickups also; the Honda Ridgeline and Toyota’s Tacoma and Tundra.

These are the longest-lasting vehicles, with the percentage of models exceeding 200,000 miles.

  Longest-lasting vehicles

Toyota Sequoia, 7.4 percent

Chevrolet Suburban, 5.0 percent

Ford Expedition, 5.0 percent

GMC Yukon XL, 4.0 percent

Toyota 4Runner, 3.9 percent

Chevrolet Tahoe, 3.8 percent

Toyota Highlander Hybrid, 3.1 percent

Honda Ridgeline, 3.0 percent

GMC Yukon, 2.8 percent

Toyota Tacoma, 2.6 percent

Toyota Tundra, 2.6 percent

Toyota Avalon, 2.5 percent

Honda Odyssey, 2.5 percent

Lincoln Navigator, 2.2 percent

All-model average: 0.8 percent

  Here’s a fuller picture of the longest-running SUVs, with the addition of six other durable models that didn’t make the overall list.

All-SUV average: 0.9 percent

  If a passenger car is more to your needs, or you’re more interested in brand performance, following are the longest-lasting vehicles and the percentage of models reaching 200K in those categories.

The top 10 cars, with SUVs and pickups excluded, are dominated by Japanese automakers. Domestic nameplates Chevrolet and Ford take two places.

American automakers fare better by brand, however. Nameplates under the wing of Detroit’s Big Three; General Motors, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Ford, claim nine of the 15 longest-lasting car brands.

  Longest-lasting passenger cars

Toyota Avalon, 2.5

Honda Odyssey, 2.5

Toyota signals a broader truck push

CHICAGO — Toyota’s broader light-truck strategy came into sharper focus at last week’s Chicago Auto Show. While the refreshed Tacoma and new trim levels for the Sequoia, RAV4 and Land Cruiser certainly will play a part, the automaker’s actions across its light-truck lineup can be summed up by a single word:

More.

More Tundras from its pickup plant in San Antonio because another plant can now make more Tacomas, allowing for broader variations and greater improvements in the refreshed 2020 versions.

Toyota also is adding variants, including the 2020 Sequoia TRD Pro, which aims to boost the off-road chops of one of the brand’s beefiest SUVs. The upcoming 2020 RAV4 TRD Off-Road finally gives some legitimate off-road bona fides to one of the vehicles that first embodied the phrase “soft-roader” two decades ago, aiming to give even more consumer appeal to what is already the nation’s top-selling crossover. And the Japanese automaker will offer more high-end nostalgia in its light-truck lineup in the form of a limited-run, specially badged 2020 Land Cruiser Heritage Edition.

It’s all part of a strategy to strike the light-truck market while it continues to be hot, and doing so — because Toyota has the resources and discipline to pursue more than one global strategy at a time — while continuing to invest in its historically strong position in compact and midsize sedans.

In 2018, sales of Toyota-brand light trucks — its two pickups, as well as its SUVs and crossovers — in the U.S. rose 8.9 percent to 1.33 million units, making up 62 percent of the brand’s overall sales. Five light-truck nameplates had more than 100,000 sales for the year, and all had sales increases:

RAV4, up 4.8 percent to 427,170

Tacoma, up 24 percent to 245,659

Highlander, up 13 percent to 244,511

4Runner, up 8.9 percent to 139,694

Tundra, up 1.7 percent to 118,258.

Yet Toyota’s top executives still see more opportunity for sales gains. Take pickups, for example, where previous production limitations have placed a governor on sales of both the Tacoma and Tundra. Toyota addressed the problem by building a third Tacoma plant, now ramping up in Mexico.

“That will give us some growth opportunities and give us the ability to push Tacoma a little harder,” said Bill Fay, senior vice president for operations at Toyota Motor North America. “I think that will add a little more appeal, with more shoppers and more interest in the midsize pickup.”

And that, Fay said, will allow the San Antonio plant to throttle back on the Tacoma to instead focus on the larger Tundra pickup. “It gives us a chance to push Tundra a little harder,” he said. “In the past, if we did that, we had to take it out of Tacoma, and now, we don’t have to do that.”

Key to Toyota’s light-truck push is the lift it gets from its TRD performance subbrand. More than 40 percent of combined Tacoma, Tundra, Sequoia and 4Runner sales are TRD packages, said Jack Hollis, head of the Toyota Division for Toyota Motor North America.

“On the truck side, our TRD Pro has really been stuff that we’ve been working on over the years that we’ve … continuously improved over the years to make those products better,” Hollis said. “Having a performance brand really allows us to experiment and innovate, and that’s what I get excited about, whether it’s cars or trucks. I see it lifting our brand through performance.”

Home Insurance Startup Hippo Joins the ‘Unicorn’ Club: Term Sheet

We’ve got a new unicorn, and my colleague Robert Hackett has the exclusive.

Hippo, a tech startup focused on the insurance market, has raised $100 million in new venture capital at a $1 billion valuation, the threshold for so-called unicorn status. 

Hippo’s latest cash injection was spearheaded by Bond Capital, an investment firm that well-known investor Mary Meeker recently spun out of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a Silicon Valley venture capital stalwart. (Read my recent feature about Kleiner’s downfall.) This is Bond’s second-ever investment following a bet in May on Canva, an Australia-based provider of graphic design tools.

Hackett reports:

Noah Knauf, the Bond investor who led Hippo’s latest funding round and is joining the company’s board as part of the deal, says that financial services are in the middle of a “massive and tectonic disruption.” He describes home insurance as one of fintech’s “gnarliest” challenges due to the prevalence of regulations in the insurance market. 

“We’re religious, and compliance is the religion,” Wand tells Fortune. After mentioning how Hippo puts the customer first, Wand revises his statement, saying, “Actually, the customer comes second, after compliance.” 

Aside from the big kahunas, such as Allstate and Travelers, Hippo’s biggest rival is Lemonade, a Softbank-backed fintech startup that reached a $2 billion private valuation in April. Lemonade is better known for selling renters’ insurance, though it also offers homeowner’s insurance. 

Hippo has raised a total of $209 million in funding to date. Existing investors such as Comcast Ventures, real estate giant Lennar, venture capital firm Iconiq Capital, and others also contributed to the latest round of funding.

There’s plenty of investor appetite in the insurance sector. According to CB Insights, global insurance tech investment reached $4.15 billion in 2018. Expect more big dollars on the horizon.

Read the full story here.

WeWork IPO UPDATE: WeWork plans to make its initial public debut in September, which is earlier than investors had expected. The company, which filed its IPO paperwork confidentially late last year, is expected to publicly disclose it in August, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

WeWork is reportedly meeting with Wall Street banks this week about an asset-backed loan and is expected to raise $5 billion to $6 billion, or about $2 billion more than it had originally sought. The funds will lessen the amount WeWork needs to raise in the IPO, which could increase the probability of success for a company with ballooning losses, the story says. Read more.

PE FEEDBACK: Yesterday, I asked Term Sheet readers to weigh in on Leo Hindery Jr.’s Fortune op-ed in which he makes the case for the ‘Stop Wall Street Looting Act’ and explains why the private equity industry needs to be reined in. Here’s what you had to say in response: 

Jeff: Mr. Hindrey’s op-ed is so loaded with factual errors and logical fallacies that it’s hard to know where to begin critiquing it. At the core, he rejects the American Way—the free enterprise system. If he has a better model for private equity, he should do the hard work of convincing LPs, of buying companies, and building a team that can repeat that over and over. He could use his success as a shining example and urge all to emulate. Instead, he wants to use government force to have central planners—without any capital of their own at risk—to force others to conform to Sen. Warren’s views of what is best. This type of busybody regulation has always reduced capital formation, which would in turn harm most the very people he claims to champion. This is pure demagoguery.

Colin: Modern PE firms are by no means the robber barons of yesteryear. The easiest way to succeed in private equity is for your companies to hit it out of the park and grow like a weed. With that said, PE’s presence in certain industries, as Leo notes, does create perverse incentives. The recent growth of PE into healthcare providers has provided little value creation beyond gamesmanship around M&A and multiple arbitrage, while likely driving up costs for patients. Is Elizabeth Warren’s bill the right solution? Probably not. Another economic downturn would certain throttle back many of the excesses of the industry in an equally meaningful way.

Michael: As a sector-focused VC, I can’t see doing it any other way. The value we give to our LPs (many of them strategic), and to our portfolio companies (many of whom we are engaged on a near-daily basis), is entirely connected to our depth of focus on the world of mobility– from OEMs like our investors Renault-Nissan, BMW, Hyundai, to the world of micromobility with companies like Bird and Lime and everything in between.

Home Insurance Startup Hippo Joins the ‘Unicorn’ Club: Term Sheet

We’ve got a new unicorn, and my colleague Robert Hackett has the exclusive.

Hippo, a tech startup focused on the insurance market, has raised $100 million in new venture capital at a $1 billion valuation, the threshold for so-called unicorn status. 

Hippo’s latest cash injection was spearheaded by Bond Capital, an investment firm that well-known investor Mary Meeker recently spun out of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a Silicon Valley venture capital stalwart. (Read my recent feature about Kleiner’s downfall.) This is Bond’s second-ever investment following a bet in May on Canva, an Australia-based provider of graphic design tools.

Hackett reports:

Noah Knauf, the Bond investor who led Hippo’s latest funding round and is joining the company’s board as part of the deal, says that financial services are in the middle of a “massive and tectonic disruption.” He describes home insurance as one of fintech’s “gnarliest” challenges due to the prevalence of regulations in the insurance market. 

“We’re religious, and compliance is the religion,” Wand tells Fortune. After mentioning how Hippo puts the customer first, Wand revises his statement, saying, “Actually, the customer comes second, after compliance.” 

Aside from the big kahunas, such as Allstate and Travelers, Hippo’s biggest rival is Lemonade, a Softbank-backed fintech startup that reached a $2 billion private valuation in April. Lemonade is better known for selling renters’ insurance, though it also offers homeowner’s insurance. 

Hippo has raised a total of $209 million in funding to date. Existing investors such as Comcast Ventures, real estate giant Lennar, venture capital firm Iconiq Capital, and others also contributed to the latest round of funding.

There’s plenty of investor appetite in the insurance sector. According to CB Insights, global insurance tech investment reached $4.15 billion in 2018. Expect more big dollars on the horizon.

Read the full story here.

WeWork IPO UPDATE: WeWork plans to make its initial public debut in September, which is earlier than investors had expected. The company, which filed its IPO paperwork confidentially late last year, is expected to publicly disclose it in August, according to The Wall Street Journal. 

WeWork is reportedly meeting with Wall Street banks this week about an asset-backed loan and is expected to raise $5 billion to $6 billion, or about $2 billion more than it had originally sought. The funds will lessen the amount WeWork needs to raise in the IPO, which could increase the probability of success for a company with ballooning losses, the story says. Read more.

PE FEEDBACK: Yesterday, I asked Term Sheet readers to weigh in on Leo Hindery Jr.’s Fortune op-ed in which he makes the case for the ‘Stop Wall Street Looting Act’ and explains why the private equity industry needs to be reined in. Here’s what you had to say in response: 

Jeff: Mr. Hindrey’s op-ed is so loaded with factual errors and logical fallacies that it’s hard to know where to begin critiquing it. At the core, he rejects the American Way—the free enterprise system. If he has a better model for private equity, he should do the hard work of convincing LPs, of buying companies, and building a team that can repeat that over and over. He could use his success as a shining example and urge all to emulate. Instead, he wants to use government force to have central planners—without any capital of their own at risk—to force others to conform to Sen. Warren’s views of what is best. This type of busybody regulation has always reduced capital formation, which would in turn harm most the very people he claims to champion. This is pure demagoguery.

Colin: Modern PE firms are by no means the robber barons of yesteryear. The easiest way to succeed in private equity is for your companies to hit it out of the park and grow like a weed. With that said, PE’s presence in certain industries, as Leo notes, does create perverse incentives. The recent growth of PE into healthcare providers has provided little value creation beyond gamesmanship around M&A and multiple arbitrage, while likely driving up costs for patients. Is Elizabeth Warren’s bill the right solution? Probably not. Another economic downturn would certain throttle back many of the excesses of the industry in an equally meaningful way.

Michael: As a sector-focused VC, I can’t see doing it any other way. The value we give to our LPs (many of them strategic), and to our portfolio companies (many of whom we are engaged on a near-daily basis), is entirely connected to our depth of focus on the world of mobility– from OEMs like our investors Renault-Nissan, BMW, Hyundai, to the world of micromobility with companies like Bird and Lime and everything in between.
