This seems to happen
every few years. Toyota has just announced a recall of
1.75 million cars over various issues.
This recall affects the Crown Majesta, Crown, Noah and Voxy models produced between June 2007 and June 2012.
Toyota said 759,000 vehicles globally had a faulty fuel delivery pipe system which could result in a leak and increased the risk of the vehicle catching fire. The fuel pipe issue applies to various Lexus models manufactured between January 2005 and September 2010.
Toyota said approximately 802,000 vehicles globally had a faulty brake system, which could crack and result in the brake fluid leaking.
This might be a suitable defense if you find yourself drunk, plowing through intersections and running over expats at 2 AM.
