    Exactly. Toyota is doing a voluntary recall versus being mandated by the NHTSA to require a recall. Its actually a good move on Toyota's part.

    True, but also 18 deaths from sticking pedals. (was on news this am)

    actually the bad part was part produced and supplied from an american company. i guess thats what toyota gets for trying to outsource work to american companies. and a junk product would not become a number one auto manufactorer in the world.

    Ummmmm, this has been an issue since last fall. You're right I was wrong, it's 19 deaths.

    Jan 30, 2010 ... Toyota Recall Hits 9 Million Cars Worldwide ... said sudden unintended acceleration in all Toyota vehicles had resulted in 19 deaths in the United States...
