The Third Recall Of The Year

And lets say it all together ...

And it's STILL NOT an American company!

Toyota will recall 533,000 Tundra trucks and Sequoia sport-utility vehicles, in an extension of a recall from 2005 that counted 775,000 similar vehicles.

The 2004-06 Tundra and the 2004-07 Sequoia are affected by the recall, which stems from a problem with the steering and suspension components. A front lower ball joint could wear prematurely, making it more difficult to steer, a spokesman told the Associated Press.

Toyota spokesman Bill Kwong said the defect may be the cause of 11 accidents resulting in six injuries.
