Personally I'm starting to hate how recall's are just an expected part of purchasing a new car.  It would seem no matter what manufacturer, you will have at least a few recalls.  Even after manufacturers spend millions of dollars on testing, research, and engineering they can still screw up and need to spend even more to fix a problem that should have been found. duh!?  I'm curious what portion of recalls effects a car manufacturers red line?

Toyota is the latest to issue a recall, which effects their Corolla and Matrix model lines.  Reportedly the bolts holding the power windows can cause the glass to actually shatter.  While this is minor in terms of some of the recalls out there, minor accidents have already been reported.

The recall is part of Toyota's safety recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) involving approximately 539,500 cars. The manufacturing defect is noticed on 2003 and 2004 model Corolla and Matrix cars.
