Toyota recalls 2.17 million more vehicles over sudden-acceleration problems
Another recall, if you have one of these models, call your dealer.
Toyota’s latest recall affects six models and is intended to deal with potential defects that could entrap the gas pedal. It comes in the wake of an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The action, which incorporates three separate recalls and comes in addition to earlier recalls for similar issues, affects six models and addresses various potential defects that could entrap the gas pedal, leading to dangerous loss of control.
Since the autumn of 2009, the Japanese automaker has issued over 14 million recall notices to address a series of safety and quality issues. The majority have been for sudden-acceleration-related flaws, and Toyota has been subject to numerous federal investigations to explore the problem.
According to the NHTSA, the new recalls came about as a result of an investigation it launched last spring into the scope and breadth of Toyota’s original pedal-entrapment recall. In a statement Thursday, David Strickland, the NHTSA’s administrator, said the safety regulator had reviewed over 400,000 pages of Toyota documents.
Toyota said that nearly 1.4 million of the newly affected models were being added to its September 2009 recall for pedal entrapment. Those models are the 4Runner, Rav4 and Lexus LX.
But it also identified separate problems, related to the shape and functionality of interior panels and carpeting that could interfere with the accelerator pedal, in the Highlander, Lexus RX and Lexus GS. Those are new recalls.

Ford Reluctantly Recalls 144,000 F-150 Pickup Trucks for Airbag Fix
Ford is recalling 144,000 of its popular F-150 pickup trucks to repair airbags that may deploy without warning, a defect that has led to dozens of injuries, government safety officials say.
The decision is a reversal for the nation’s No. 2 automaker, The Detroit News reported. Ford had steadfastly refused to recall the pickups in the face of federal government pressure. Still, the recall isn’t as broad as regulators wanted.
The recall action involves F-150s from the 2005-06 models years “for a relatively low risk of inadvertent air bag deployments,” Ford spokesman Wes Sherwood said late Tuesday. Most of the vehicles — 135,000 — are registered in the U.S., with the remainder having been sold in Canada.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration sent a letter to the Dearborn, Mich.-based automaker about a month ago, asking it to recall some 1.3 million F-150 pickups from the 2004 to 2006 model years, after receiving reports from dozens of people about unexpectedly deploying airbags that resulted in injuries, the News reported.
The injuries included chipped and broken teeth, cuts to the arm, hand and face, lacerations and minor burns, NHTSA found in its investigation, which has been ongoing since September 2009. Two owners reported a loss of consciousness as a result of air bag deployment.
Ford resisted recalling the trucks, it said, because the number of incidents was low, the injuries were minor and “consumers received adequate warning” as a result of an illuminated air-bag warning light that alerts drivers that the vehicle needs to be serviced, the News reported.
Still, Ford on Tuesday said it would work with the government to deal with the defects. “Ford is committed to safety and will continue to work cooperatively with NHTSA in addressing any further questions,” Sherwood said.

CASSIDY
7 year old Collie/German Shepherd mix
Hi there! My name’s Cassidy, and I’ve had a bit of a rough time so far. Animal Friends doesn’t know the particulars of my past, but my ears are a little torn up, which might mean that I’ve been in scuffles with other dogs or hurt in the past. Either way, I’m a little timid now and I’m looking for someone to coax me back into being a real fun dog!
I’m very friendly and enjoy attention: call me a people-oriented dog. I like some dogs, and might get along with yours. I don’t have a lot of experience with training yet, but maybe you could teach me.
The biggest issue is that I am still a little scared and afraid of new things and situations. If you take the time to properly introduce me to new people and experiences, I bet I’ll do great. Just stop by and meet me at Animal Friends.
