WASHINGTON - Toyota Motor Corp. said Thursday it was recalling 533,000 Tundra pickup trucks and Sequoia sport utility vehicles because of potential steering problems

Toyota said the recall involved 2004-2006 Tundra trucks and 2004-2007 Sequoia full-size SUVs. The automaker has received reports of 11 accidents and six injuries connected to the recall, said Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong.

The automaker said there was a possibility of excessive wear to a front suspension lower ball joint that could make it difficult to steer the vehicle and stay in the center of the lane. Drivers may also notice more noise coming from the front suspension, Kwong said.

Toyota- recall king of 2007. great way to bring in the new year.

What I see funny here though, is how some people say that Toyota has fewer recalls than GM, but Toyota's recalls have been alot worse. I wonder if people will the the light and notice Toyonda are not as perfect as they believe.

Triple-X08 · 01-18-2007, 08:47 PM

Toyota- moving forward to more recalls

1931Chevy · 01-18-2007, 08:50 PM

But I bet that if Ford has to make a recall or GM about stop light bulbs people will say ahh they build crap but with Toyota they can loose steering while driving at 50mph and they say ohh thats Toyota they can make recalls they build great cars

If memory serves, in 06 Toyota recalled more vehicles than GM, and much more on a percentage basis - they aren't the largest...yet.

Toyota, which is challenging General Motors Corp. to become the world's largest automaker, has aggressively touted its redesigned Tundra pickup as a strong competitor in the lucrative truck segment dominated by GM and Ford Motor Co.

why is this in every article about toyota? this has been said for a couple years now. any way, not a good way to start off the new year huh?
