Toyota didn't waste anytime jumping to Recall status (which the other domestics, sadly, seem to drag their feet). I guess because of the potential involved down the road of steering issues they popped the alarm.
I still can't help but think they might have over-reacted since only 6 people thus far out of how many have actually had an issue. Should we park our affected Toyotas just in case? I'm betting scheduling and parts availability might be an issue though with this many vehicles involved. I guess they could stagger the notifications but now that it's mainstream news I'm betting dealers are going to get tired of calls about it.
Seems like July and the rest of the year thereafter is going to be busy for the dealers managing 3/4 of a million vehicles.
