Toyota to recall 600,000 Sienna minivans
Yeah, another Toyota recall.
"Toyota said today it was recalling 600,000 Sienna minivans to inspect for rust in the cable that holds the spare tire, adding to the more than 6 million vehicles already under recall by the automaker this year. Toyota said it does not yet have a fix for the problem, which is likely confined to 20 cold-weather states, including Michigan, which use road salt in winter. Owners in other states can have their vans inspected for the problem. http://www.freep.com/article/2010041...600000-Siennas |

The Government *owns* GM. Toyota is the biggest competitor. Lahood is an ex UAW union dog. No rocket science involved |

When you get on the government's radar, you are in trouble until the government gets distracted to something else. Realistically, Toyota cars are pretty damned good. It is not likely that any other car manufacturer would do as well as Toyota under the current scrutiny. However, all this micromanagement by the government is going to get Toyota to produce a much better product, and Toyota will really kick ass in the future. |

If you want proof, look up what happened last year in Formula one and How Toyota's done in F1 for their period in it. These probably don't have any affect on their road cars per se, but certainly would have an affect on any response to such actions by the US Govt. -- (setq (chuck nil) car(chuck) ) |

Simply switching to a non-stainless- steel cable should do it...?! Or hey, just coat the cable with epoxy or something... Michael |
