Scared? You shouldn't be.
It is interesting this current trend of reporting on Toyota recalls from everywhere around the world. No one ever reports GM recalls here from Europe, Australia or Asia. Why this double standard concerning Toyota? Let's stick to reporting recalls on vehicles in North America.
And if we report on recalls affecting vehicles in North America, what do we find? The honest stats reported by tgferg67 in another thread, give a much more accurate picture regarding recent recalls:
