Recall King Toyota 99.9% defect rate past 3 years. Top at Mitsubishi-Fuso at 1850%

Is Toyota and Ministry of Transportation Hints Collaborating to Hide Recalls?

Toyota Does not Publish Recall Recovery Rate

All from "MyNewsJapan"

Of course, I wouldn't take every word for word, but read it with a grain of salt. Pretty interesting read if you can understand Japanese...
Why is the last article completely in Japanese? Get an English version.

To destroy a castle, though, you've got to get past the moat around it first.....and Toyota, in general, has a pretty good moat.
