Toyota has announced a new initiative to address the growing concern of catalytic converter theft. With precious metals like platinum, palladium, and rhodium contained within these emissions control devices, thieves have increasingly targeted vehicles for their valuable converters.

The company is now offering replacement catalytic converters with enhanced security features, including unique identification numbers etched into the metal and tamper-resistant shields that make removal significantly more difficult.

Understanding the Problem

Catalytic converter theft has skyrocketed in recent years, with some areas reporting increases of over 300%. The precious metals contained within can fetch hundreds of dollars at scrap metal dealers, making them attractive targets for thieves who can remove them in just minutes.

"We recognize the frustration our customers face when dealing with catalytic converter theft. Our new security-enhanced converters represent our commitment to protecting both our customers and the environment."
