Time for Toyota to Recall Sequoia and Tundra Units

By: Correy Putton

The Toyota Motor Corporation has been known in the automotive world as one of the strongest and one of the most popular auto manufacturers. In fact, despite it being one of the auto creators from Asia, the company has sure shown the industry that it can compete with long playing auto creators like General Motors and the Ford Motor Company. For example, this creator may be even new compared to the manufacturer, but it has certainly shown signs of bearing the capacity to make it to the top. Many experts have come to feel that one day this company is going to take over the United States market with its share of vehicles.

However, it does look like the tables have been turned and the Toyota Motor Corporation has already shown some signs of weakness. And this is shown through the announcement sent out by the company that it would be soon recalling two of its products - the Toyota Sequoia and the Toyota Tundra.

Last Friday, the company has announced that it would then be calling back to its embrace some 533,000 units of the mentioned vehicles. The Toyota Sequoia, a popular sport utility vehicle, and the Toyota Tundra, a pick up truck, would be called back are the two vehicle models and only those units sold in the United States are going to be part of the recall.

Toyota says that such a move would be done so much so that they would be able to take care of the faulty components and features that they have installed with the vehicles. The faulty systems could actually make the drivers feel like they do not have that much control over the vehicle's steering prowess. After all, the company has already been able to note that there are already some six injuries and some eleven accidents that have happened because of such a defect in the system.

Only those Toyota Sequoias for the model years 2004 to 2007 would be recalled. As per the Toyota Tundras, those created for the 2004 to the model year 2006 are going to be taken back. Both of these vehicles are created and completed at the Indiana plant.

However, it does look like that the recall would not really bring the company's stature and respect down. The move would most certainly be bringing up a good name for the company for recalls only do show that Toyota did not have to wait until more people get injured because of the faulty system in their vehicles.
