I was thinkign the same thing.. but the recals mentions the cars... Echo, Highlander, RX330, etc. Not the same cars.

But what is interesting though... what Analysts have said over and over again for the past few years... the more common the parts become in Toyotas, the easier it is for a fault part to become a widespread recall.

Sort of the converse of the old adage, "The fancier the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."
