Toyota Recalls Tundra and Tacoma
Well it looks as though Toyota has issued a recall for two of its trucks, the almost full size Tundra and the midsize Tacoma this form Automotive news…..
LOS ANGELES -- For the second time in less than two years, Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A. has launched a massive voluntary recall campaign involving the front suspension of its full-sized pickup and SUV models. In cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Toyota is recalling 553,000 Tundra pickups and Sequoia SUVs from the 2004-2007 model years to inspect and possibly replace ball-joint assemblies. The recall does not affect the redesigned 2007 Tundra that started production in November.
This the second recall and from Toyota in the last several months, one has to wonder if Toyota’s quality control is slipping and this is the effect of all this, it seems to me that it’s this kind of thing that began to change the public’s perception of the Detroit makers ability to make a good product.
I doubt that Toyota will let this kind of thing get away from then the way the domestic Automakers allowed to happen, but this is unusual for a company like Toyota, this wont have a long term effect and drive down sales, but who knows.
