Is this really true? All of the 2010 Highlanders I looked at are made
in Japan and they are on the recall list. So are 2009-2010 RAV4s. The
only US/Japan split is see is for Camry's. Otherwise the recall
affects Toyota produced in Japan, Europe, and the US. Maybe if your
Camry was made in Japan, it might be true, but it seems they are
constantly expanding this recall....

Toyota�s massive recall of more than seven million vehicles in the
United States � sparked by reliability problems with accelerator
pedals � is to be extended to Europe and China, the company revealed
today.

The announcements came hours after the company added a further 1.09
million vehicles to the tally of cars involved in its US recall. It is
thought that at least 75,000 vehicles will be recalled in China.

To me it sounds awfully suspicious that Toyota is all-the-sudden doing
as bad as the big 3.

I would agree with someone who said; "Toyota needs to remember they're
a car company and not a finance company".

I just repeated what Brian Williams said on the NBC Nightly News Wednesday.
