Thanks for this - we should move this out of maintenance and into the Toyota Recalls Forum.

Seems like Toyota is getting credit for coming forward on this and taking the heat instead of trying to deflect.

Toyota is having some problems over the last 12 months or so and they have damaged their brand image very badly with several recalls.

Any specifics on these recalls? I'd like to start some new threads for discussion in the recall forum.

Just go do a search for "RECALL" and you will find the threads on it on this site.

Recall is no good for the company reputation it effect the market status of the company. So be careful & solve almost all problems before launching the car.

This recall was over a year ago and it's just about 99% forgotten from the minds of the American public. Funny how it works out that way.

Muddy has it right. Sure a recall might be bad news, and it has some small lasting effect as people think (didn't they have some kind of big problem), but with time people forget.

Its like the Jack-in-the-Box thing where they killed some people with their food. Most people don't even remember that I bet. Same with the recall, the public has mostly forgotten that already, and another few years it will be way in the past.

hah, before that in the 70's Jack in the box was caught using kangaroo meat on their burgers and people forgot that, then ten years later their distributor started sending out e coli beef (partially due to cows being corn-fed instead of grass-fed - go watch "Food, Inc." the movie) and we've all but forgotten about that too. -- good point

The public consciousness is a short lived thing. I was trying to think, before the big Toyota problem that was all the news, what was the last big Auto recall/problem? I can't even think of it.

Although, counter to my point, this kind of thing did kill the Pinto. People still remember the gas tanks for some of their models blowing up. So I guess its hit or miss what disappears with time and what sticks.

Ohh, those hot cars!. And they get recalled? Too bad!. Quality control manager should be FIRED!

 

[balihaisen]

I was wondering, when will Toyota have a promo that says, Buy one, take another recalled car for FREE!. bET, They will have a sold out fast, always.

 

[danstpierre]

They should just give away those recalled cars... for FREE!. I bet, they won't have to worry about it. Ha, ha, ha.

 

[antonino]

Recalls could be a double edged sword for any car company. First, it shows that their quality controls are not working well. But on the other hand, it could also show that the car manufacturer concerned is thinking of the safety of their consumers.
