No one can argue that it hasn't been a roller-coaster year for the world's largest car company. It was a year ago tomorrow that Toyota issued it's largest recall ever for possible gas pedal entrapment caused by loose floor mats. That initial recall of 3.8 million vehicles seemed to unleash a blizzard of further recalls. In the past 12 months, the grand total for Toyota's recalls has been more than 14 million units. To put that in some perspective, there were only 10.4 million vehicles sold, by all manufacturers, in the US in 2009. The industry wide forecast for 2010 is around 12 million units. What is even more stunning for a company that built it's reputation on a perception of high quality vehicles is the 5 year number. Since January 1st, 2005, Toyota has recalled 25.67 million units.
