Toyota recall.

VVC-Geeza · 4th February 2010, 23:03

Toyota have apologised for not spotting the fault which causes loss of control.

They would have noticed it sooner if the Yaris had actually been bought by men.

Not a brake problem

The details are here

The 'funny' part is the spokesman refers to that "all his friends and family drive Toyotas"... Do all of your friends and family drive Rovers ?

Spin at it's best.......

I dont know why they've suddenly picked on Toyota over a recall, must be a slow news week. All manufacturers dish out safety related recalls but you rarely here about them unless you own one of the cars. I remember the old Xantia hanbrake recall when it was found Xantias were rolling away which was actually proved by government testing to be operator error but Citroen still released a modified handbrake lever to help solve the problem, or there was the Volvo 340 sudden brake master cylinder failure.

What I'm trying to say is just because they've found a problem it doesn't mean they're a bad manufacturer, I've had a Toyota & apart from parts prices it was one of the best cars I've ever owned

Well if you will go around in a ginger car, what can you expect

Very true that you´re saying. They seem to have flogged Haiti enough and now there aren´t any juicy bits left

. Remember Volvo having some fantastic new paint program for the cars. Didn´t need the 4 or 5 coats anymore as the paint mix was fantastic. 6 months after the first ones rolled off the line, all the paint started to peal and big rust blisters. Didn´t do their immage much good when huge problems with rust started to happen in the US..... California

But the potential Prius recall is for brakes (or lack of them)
