Actually, it was the fact Toyota wasn't the one who pushed for it that bothered me. This points to a systemic change in Toyota. How many of us refer to Toyota when we talk about process improvement? If Toyota has fallen from grace, clearly in support of something OTHER then taking care of their customers, who will be next? I think their brand may be irreparably tarnished. Whatever it takes, whatever it costs, they need to step up and prove their customers are the most important thing to them. Right now, their actions speak so loudly I can't hear anything they are saying.

So far Toyota has recalled about 7,000,000 vehicles and actually it is the same number they have sold in 2009! Lesson to learn is Kaizen has to be revised, and my next car won't be Toyota.. Let's wait and see the final conclusion, however I expect that it will not be disclosed. Hi Josh,
