OMG! Toyota recall! Impossible!

This does not effect the US.

But I actually give Toyota credit for this. With a recall you get your problem fixed, with a class action lawsuit you get $100 bucks (Hello GM!).

Ummm............yes it does.

he 2006 and 2007 Yaris model sold in the U.S. are effected. The carmaker says a front-end collision can cause a foam pad in the vehicle to catch fire.

From what I've read, this is fallout from Toyota's drive to push sales over quality control in its bid to be the biggest worldwide seller. Toyota has been recalling increasing numbers of vehicles over the past 8 years.
