Toyota Recalling 600K Sienna Minivans

siennaJUST IN: 5:53 p.m. Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 600,000 Sienna minivans sold in the United States over corrosion in the spare tire carrier, the Associated Press reports. Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 600,000 Sienna minivans sold in the United States to address potential corrosion in the spare tire carrier cable. Toyota says the recall affects the 1998-2010 model year Siennas that have been operated in cold-climate areas. The automaker says corrosion from road salt could cause the carrier cable to fail. The spare tire could become separated from the vehicle and cause a road hazard for other vehicles.

Toyota, plagued by recalls, also reported on Tuesday that it would be temporarily halting sales of the 2010 Lexus GX 460 after Consumer Reports issued a rare “Don’t Buy” warning amid concerns the large SUV has handling problems that could cause it to roll over during sharp turns. CBS

Toyota is such a well run company. Their customer service is o.k. ,
their safety record is o.k. , their finance department is o.k. , their corporate leaders are o. k. , and my ayin hora is also o.k.

My car is 34 years old–iy”h kain yirbu– in 2 months. A sienna is lucky if it lasts 10 years. Plus, my wagon looks better (after I replaced the checkered side panel).
