In a dealer communique sent out today, Toyota has announced the voluntary recall of some 8,000 2010 Tacomas that could suffer from a defect in the front propeller shaft.
Pickuptrucks.com reports that a crack can form in the rear joint, causing the driveshaft to come loose from the truck. Obviously, this defect will only affect four-wheel drive models, so standard two-wheel drive Tacomas are left out of the recall. According to Brian Lyons, Toyota's head of safety communications, "Most of the vehicles [included in the recall] are in the pipeline in Toyota's distribution system or on dealer lots." Affected owners can contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 for more information, and Toyota dealers will perform a ten minute visual inspection of the trucks. Naturally, if they find a fault with the prop shaft assembly, it will be replaced free of charge. |

any truth to this? DETROIT – Honda Motor Co. is adding more than 378,000 cars to an existing safety recall for air bag inflation problems, the company said Tuesday. The company will replace the driver's side air bag inflator on the cars because they can deploy with too much pressure, causing the inflator to rupture and injure or kill the driver. The recall now affects more than 822,000 vehicles, including certain 2001 and 2002 Accord sedans, Civic compacts, Odyssey minivans, CR-V small sport utility vehicles and some 2002 Acura TL sedans. Honda said it is aware of 12 incidents linked to the problem, with 11 injuries and one death. The company said it is not aware of any problems happening after July 2009. |

With the Prius brake recall, the pedal disaster and now this... Toyota may have a violent fall from grace.

Bah... Every company has recalls... I just got two on my 2010 Dodge Ram, one for a faulty braking system effecting 25,000 vehicles, and one for a leak around the cargo light. I didn't see any news coverage on either of those though...
I still think it's politics... I just pulled up a list of recalls for a random vehicle (2009 Cobalt) and came up with one where the vehicle can slip out of park and roll away... didn't hear about that in the news either... here's a link to a recall search: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.... |
