TOMICA SUBARU FORESTER MK5 JAPANESE FIRE COMMAND VEHICLE 1/64

Its taken me nearly forty years to achieve over 70 Tomica models in my collection and yet in the space of just over three weeks i've easily doubled that figure. Just as Hot Wheels and HTI generics are available in pretty much every UK retailer who sells toys the same can be said of Tomica over there. Not just toy stores and department stores but most souvenir shops, I even saw them being sold at motorway service areas!
An extremely favourable exchange rate made them irresistibly cheap and so I tried to get as many current releases as possible such as this Subaru Forester. Painted in a rather charming Japanese Fire Command livery it exudes quality with a working suspension, all round detailing and full interior. Working parts are no longer a feature on most of the lower priced models but at this price point theres no complaints.
Found at a Japanese BIC Camera store which was a good source for Tomica and indeed other brands.
Mint and boxed.

DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT


Posted on: 2013-04-24
Description
Subaru is recalling certain model year 2014 forester vehicles manufactured from january 2013 through march 2013.  The backing for the carpeted floor mats was not manufactured to specification.  As a result, the floor mats may curl when exposed to heat.

Consequence
Curling of the driver side floor mat could distract the driver and/or interfere with proper operation of one or a combination of, the vehicle's clutch, brake, and accelerator pedals.  Brake or accelerator pedal interference may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash.

Corrective Action
Subaru will notify owners, and dealers will replace each of the vehicle's four (4) carpeted floor mats with new ones.  These services will be performed free of charge.  Subaru issued an interim notification during april 2013.  Notification that the remedy is now available was mailed to owners on june 5, 2013.  Owners may contact subaru at 1-800-782-2783.  Subaru's recall campaign number is wqh-44.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
