That is not true either. I provided you with a complete list 2007 Toyota recalls. Strictly speaking "Toyota" only has three recall campaigns in

2007:

Sept 26 - NHTSA # 07E082000 - 2007 and 2008 Camry and Lexus ES350 Floor Mats (an equipment recall, not a vehicle recall) - approximately 55,000 vehicles affected

Jan 19 - NHTSA # 07V013000 - 2004 to 2007 Sequoias and 2004 to 2006 Tundras - lower ball joint recall - 533,124 vehicles affected

Jul 24 - NHTSA # 07V324000 - 2007 Tacoma 4WD Pickup - propeller shaft - 108 vehicles affected

There are three more recalls for aftermarket components installed in Toyotas (in some cases installed by Toyota dealers or distributors):

Jan 16 - NHTSA # 07E005000 - Scion XA and XB - aftermarket cruise control (not installed by Toyota) - 2934 vehicles affected

Jan 25 - NHTSA # 07V030000 - Scion XA and XB - Gulf States installed cruise control - 1372 vehicles affected

Jan 16 - NHTSA # 07V048000 - Scion XA and XB - Southeast Toyota installed cruise control - 716 vehicles

As far as I can detemrine that is the complete list of 2007 "Toyota/Lexus/Scion" US Recalls. In the last five months of 2007 (May to September) DiamlerChrysler (now Chrysler) has had 13 recalls:

May 2007 - 07V-192 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 270,958 MY 2005 Town and Country and Dodge Caravan minivans

May 2007 - 07V-196 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 410 MY 2007 Dodge Caliber, Jeep Compass and Patriot passenger vehicles

June 2007 - 07V-240 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 798 MY 2007-2008 Sebring and MY 2008 Dodge Avenger vehicles.

June 2007 - 07V-246 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 39 MY 2007 Dodge and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 trucks.

June 2007 - 07V-247 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 5,062 MY 2007 Dodge Ram

1500 pickup trucks

July 2007 - 07V-291 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 80,894 MY 2007 Jeep Wrangler and Dodge Nitro vehicles.

July 2007 - 07V-299 - DaimlerChrysler Manufacturing is recalling 4,433 MY

2001-2006 Dodge Sprinter and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 trucks

July 2007 - 07V-325 - DaimlerChrysler Manufacturing is recalling 461 MY 2007 Dodge and Freightliner Sprinter 2500 and 3500 trucks.

September 2007 - 07V-413 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 1,498 MY 2007

2-wheel drive Dodge Ram pickup trucks

September 2007 - 07V-414 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 72,333 MY 2007-2008 Avenger sedan and Chrysler Sebring convertible vehicles.

Septemeber 2007 - 07V-415 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 28,755 MY 2007-2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander sport utility vehicles

September 2007 - 07V-426 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 1,158 MY 2008 Dodge Avenger all wheel drive vehicles.

Septemeber 2007 - 07V-434 - DaimlerChrysler is recalling 296,550 MY 2007 Dodge Nitro, Jeep Wrangler, and MY 2006-2007 Grand Cherokee and Commander sport utility vehicles.

Ford, GM, Nissan, VW, Volvo, and Suzuki have all had more individual recall campaigns than Toyota so far in 2007. So to be clear - Toyota has not recalled the most vehicles in 2007 and Toyota has not had the most recalls in 2007.

Mike you need to stop making stuff up. It hurts your credibility when you actaully are stating true facts.

Spin it any way you wish but total RECALLS does not refer to only the current model year. The fact remains Toyota had the most RECALLS in 2006 and is currently highest in 2007.

Probably because they introduced more all-new designs around that time than other manufacturers did. Recalls are related more to new designs than overall quality, as Chrysler and AMC showed in the 1970s, when they sometimes had the lowest recall rates in the industry, along with the oldest designs. Contrary to what Toyota claims publicly, the quality and efficiency of their North American factories are not as good as their Japanese factories', and the designs never produced in Japan have fared worse than the other Toyotas.

Either provide some backup for this false claim or quit making it. GM, Ford, Nissan, and VW all had more total vehicles recalled than Toyota during 2007. Multiple manufacturers had more individual recalls during

2007 than Toyota. Multiple manufacturers had more different models recalled during 2007 than Toyota. If you are trying to say that there were more Toyotas on the road subject to recall during 2007, that is not true either. There is no way you can claim that Toyota has the most recalls, or vehicles recalled, or vehicles subject to recalls in 2007. It is really infuriating when you just make stuff up, and then try to weasel your way out of admitting that you made it up. The facts are out there. Point us to some facts that prove your claim that Toyota "is currently highest in 2007" (whatever the heck that means). Otherwise quit making a false claim.

Just had my new Tundra delivered today. Have the vibration/rumble at light shifting. Gotta call dealer to see if I should swap it out or have it fixed. Selling dealer is 200 miles away. I smell TROUBLE!!!! :(

Yeah well for longevity and overall quality a Toy beats the "Big Three" by light years.

Not by light years any more. The Michigan 3 (I don't say big 3 because Toyota is the largest automaker in the world) are catching up.

And most idjits don't keep an F-150 long enough for any real problems to show up. Check the resale value on an F-150. It dives like a submarine as it rolls off the lot.

I kept my last F150 for 14 years. Sold it in less than a week for my asking price. I think the total I spent on repairs over the period was under $500.
