Okay, and they aren't saying what the Recall is? RAFF out roud. :gtfo:

 

Did you even read it?

 

An Associated Press investigation has found that Toyota waited nearly a year to issue a U.S. recall in 2005 over defective steering rods in trucks and SUVs, despite a similar recall in Japan and dozens of reports from American motorists about rods that snapped without warning.

Toyota Waited Months To Recall Trucks For Defect Linked To 3 Deaths

An AP investigation has found that Toyota waited nearly a year after a 2004 recall in Japan to issue the same recall in the U.S.-- claiming that it had little evidence of a U.S. problem. The AP says, however, that the automaker had received at least 52 reports from U.S. drivers about a steering defect in trucks and SUVs.

 

“The gap between the Japanese and U.S. recalls has triggered a new review by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, which could fine the automaker up to $16.4 million.

NHTSA has linked 16 crashes, three deaths and seven injuries to the steering defect.

 

Now, highlight where you see what you just told me.

And the truth comes out.

 

Truth be told, I couldn't care less for anything post 1998'ish... I love the old school Toyotas. However, I am tired of people having personal vendettas with Toyota because they've had such an impeccable reputation. Always trying to get someone else down to look better themselves.

Two DIFFERENT recalls. The one in the article is for whatever model year it is that they introduced the Tacoma name on, and up. 96+ I think...
