Toyota Recalls 261,114 Lexus And Toyota Models For Stability Control Issues

Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 261,114 Lexus and Toyota brand vehicles in the United States because various safety systems, including stability control and anti-lock brakes, could become inoperative.

It is recalling vehicles from model years 2012 and 2013 because an electrical component in the brake actuator, which adjusts fluid pressure in each wheel cylinder, may experience increased resistance, according to documents filed this week with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

I am not really seeing a lot of Toyota and Lexus cars around here anymore. I wonder how Toyota will recover from this?

Whatever, too much electronics between the driver and the car. I can only imagine the nightmare in 5 years, by all makers. I expect similar recalls from MB and BMW shortly. All the big boys share electronic component suppliers, whether it's Bosch or Siemens, the actual electronic components are not made by the auto company themselves.

Good to see component issues identified and fixed for customers before they cause problems. This is the way of the future others should follow, instead of waiting for a crisis or government mandate.

That's what we get for telling companies to find the cheapest part made with the cheapest labour.

It's the stupid race to sell the most cars in the world. What does it really mean if you leave everything else behind?
