Toyota Recall Part Of Deal To Halt Sudden Acceleration Investigations

Toyota's decision to recall the vehicles was part of an agreement it made with U.S. regulators, who in return have agreed to close their investigation into the safety crisis that damaged the automaker's reputation.

Although Washington officials recently handed the automaker a huge victory by finding that its electronic throttle systems were not a factor in the recall saga of nearly 8 million vehicles in 2009 and 2010, Thursday's action raises new questions about mechanical and equipment issues.

So, to recap.

A. Recall deal (which made it worse for Toyota, not better. Why they would agree to this is beyond me unless they have skeletons in that closet)

B. Govt ends investigation and issues no fault decision!

Great!! Why not send in a bunch of guys with ski masks to rob Toyota's HQ bank vault??

Either they just want to get it over (likely)

OR

They fear this witch hunt will never be over.

Sort of like being innocent, yet convicted and serving a lengthy sentence in prison, and the only way you get out early is to "show remorse for your crime" at your parole hearing. If you assert you're innocent, then back to your cell.
