Toyota, One Year Later Report from Kelley Blue Book

One year later from what you didn't ask did you? Well maybe, but essentially this is a report discussing Toyota's woes over the past year with respect to the mass recalls it endured. You can view the in depth report here (it is a downloadable file on the site).

Despite Toyota's recall woes of 2010, the brand's used-car values held strong throughout the year so they probably don't really need to look for a sie operation selling the best weight loss supplements or anything. Among the best-performing used Toyotas were 2007-2009 model-years Camry, RAV4, Highlander, Sienna and Yaris, primarily due to their offering of solid fuel economy in an affordable package. Meanwhile, used vehicles from Toyota's luxury sister brand Lexus underperformed the market throughout 2010 along with all luxury brands, primarily due to the economic concerns of used-car shoppers. more

Here we go. The list of all the Toyotas and Lexus' vehicles that are apparently under recall. This is the latest list as of Friday, February 19, 2010.

It lists all the versions of their cars that are currently under recall, as well as more information about what they are going to do about it, as well as what you need to do.

Looks like a good time for you to find the
most successful home based business you can since you can't drive anywhere doesn't it..lol

The Lexus page is far less involved, but this is the Official Lexus Recall Info site. The only vehicle on the front page there is the Lexus 2010 HS 250h, which is a voluntary recall, but it is encouraged that you do it as it involves reports of inconsistent breaking in their vehicles.
