Toyota Yaris Recall
Hard to believe only a few short months ago I was talking about how safe the Toyota Yaris was going to be for the US market. This little toy car was supposed to set records for safety and protection of it's drivers, despite it's small size. Well, apparently the experts found out otherwise and now Toyota is facing a large recall of the Yaris.
According to reports a foam pad near the seat belt could ignite during collisions. Sounds interesting, considering anything that's flammable has the ability to ignite in any type of friction collision. So to me, sounds a little suspicious, but I'm the type of person who believes in conspiracy theory. Hopefully Toyota will get the Yaris back on the road and selling to start improving sales figures going into 09.

Eish! More woes for Toyota. It seems like their quality control department needs some tightening up….or are the lawmakers just being pedantic? Usually when there is a recall such as this it is because of problems that manifest themselves in accident situations, so I suppose where there is smoke there is fire…..
