Following on from the breaking news yesterday that Toyota are issuing their biggest recall in the U.S over problems with floor mats, we have an article for you to read now which compares Toyota’s recall to other recalls that have happened this year.
Over at CarGurus, they have played down the seriousness of the floormat issue, saying that it is just a ‘minor’ problem and can be solved simply by removing the sidemat from affected vehicles.
Then they have compared this recall with other incidents that have caused companies to recall vehicles. These include General Motor’s recall of 1.5 million autos in April over the possibility of electrical fires. Then they have highlighted Chrysler’s recall of 13,350 minivans in February, again due to the risk of fire due to faulty electrical circuits.
Personally we don’t agree with CarGurus’ admission that this latest Toyota Recall is a ‘minor’ problem. Its good to finally see Toyota willing to address the issue.

this recall is a scam to make customers come in for service
Toyota needs to address the more serious problems with rusting frames. Our truck has what has been deemed a serious but not critical rust problem..Toyota is doing NOTHING untill it is critical, Kinda like being told you have cancer but we won’t treat you till your legs fall off. I would never trust Toyota again!
