    Recalls almost 2 million vehicles for brake switch problems but it isn't plastered over every news channel 24/7 for weeks... Yeah, that's fair.

    I kinda think they are more worried about the 1.8 million casualties that loom on the horizon.
    But it's nice to know they are doing the recall.
    Hope they have made enough spare parts before the Hyundai plant is gone!

    Actually toyota was number 1 in 2012.
    Toyota Recalled More Vehicles in U.S. Than Any Other Automaker in 2012 | Edmunds.com

    And number 2 in 2011
    Automobile Recall Statistics | Statistic Brain

    Hyundai recalled a paltry 500,000 cars compared to toyotas 3.5 million.

    Toyota and honda have learned to make junk just like the domestics once did.
