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.
