Toyota has had several “Quality” concerns over the last eight years. But none as serious as the present recall. Eight Toyota models have been placed on the “Do Not Sell List”. At least until the defective accelerator part has been repaired or repalced. Some models will be called in that were built as early as 2005. Here’s a complete list of the recalled Toyotas by model and year:
2005-2010 Avalon
2007-2010 Camry
2009-2010 Corolla
2010 Highlander
2009-2010 Matrix
2009-2010 RAV-4
2008-2010 Sequoia
2007-2010 Tundra
There is no way to know how long this recall will last. Parts are being shipped to Toyota dealers and factories, across the country, as quickly as possible. Dealers are worried about the image this presents to the public. They should be. Edmunds.com reports that the Camry has dropped over 15% in likely consideration by consumers as their next car. There will be similar drops in Toyota popularity as long as this recall is in the news.
