Major Toyota Recalls

 

In 2010, Toyota issued several recalls, including:

 

• A recall involving accelerator issues that affected over two million vehicles of several models.
• A recall to update programming for vehicle stability control in Toyota Sequoias
• A recall affecting Toyota Siennas, due to corrosion on the spare tire cord
• A recall of the 2010 Prius, the 2010 Lexus HS 250h and the Toyota Camry due to issues with the anti-lock brake systems

 

Toyota issued voluntary recalls for all of these problems, allowing vehicle owners to bring their vehicles in for repairs. Automobile manufacturers are required to report safety defects to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) within five days after they are discovered. If the automaker does not respond properly to the discovery of safety defects, they could be found culpable for any injuries that occur as a result of accidents due to these manufacturing defects.
