Recall hysteria

Just went out and looked, it says manufacture date 01/06, which I would expect having ordered it in December. Guess I'm OK, then.

Wow, and drive.com.au really got it wrong:

... and honestly, how can Toyota be forced to issue a voluntary recall?


Bravo, 9 News in Denver. You've joined the disfunctional ranks of the Austrailian news network with this headline:

One Million Hybrids Recalled

If the sky falls on a Prius in the woods and no one is around, does it still get great gas mileage?

I picked mine up in February and it was made in December 05, it should also be unaffected. I figure Toyota will send a notice if it is affected.

 

tmsusa has posted extensively on this issue here, and it is much appreciated. I stopped by the Edmunds forums and found that the same had been done there. I had a feeling (prejudice) that the issue would be treated emotionally at Edmunds, but tmsusa's postings seem to have averted that. For the moment at least!

Anyway I think this was a good move by Toyota to have a rep speak up in the forums.
