Toyota Issues Global Recall Of 6.39 Million Cars Across 27 Models

Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 6.39 million vehicles globally for a variety of problems spanning nearly 30 models in Japan, the U.S., Europe and other places.

No injuries or crashes have been reported related to the recalls announced Wednesday. But two fires have been reported related to one of the problems, a defective engine starter that can keep the motor running.

Some vehicles were recalled for more than one problem. The recall cases total 6.76 million vehicles for 27 Toyota models, the Pontiac Vibe and the Subaru Trezia, produced from April 2004 through August 2013.

Barra needs to send Toyoda a gift basket, GM's recalls are forgotten news now.

I see there's an ignition recall in there too, must have got them from the same kids.

This is no surprise! Toyota is the leader in the industry when it comes to recalls.

This site is generally all over recalls of Asian and American brands but somehow recalls of German brands like BMW seem to go quiet.

I can not defend Toyota/Lexus if they keep revealing problems like those. And this is one of the reasons why I need to stay away from Toyota/Lexus for years for now.

I mean, I do not wish to buy their vehicles because of sudden unintended acceleration problems, and now this?
