In recent months Toyota injury lawyers have discussed how there have been recalls on several different models of Toyota vehicles that have proven dangerous to the driver and any passengers in the vehicle. Toyota recall includes more than 3 million vehicles wherein the Toyota accelerator pedal can become stuck, which means the driver can lose control of the vehicle and then be unable to slow it down, or even bring it to a stop at all. Thus, sudden acceleration can cause the vehicle (various models of Lexus and Prius) to be involved in an accident that results in serious injuries, property damage and even death.
Toyota sudden acceleration accident lawyers say the auto maker has not only issued a recall for certain models of their cars and pickup trucks, the corporation has also issued a recall recently on many of their vehicles that were manufactured between 2004 and 2006 due to improper assembly of the passenger side airbag. This also can result in serious injury and death when the airbag does not deploy properly, because it was produced with an insufficient amount of heating agents that are necessary for the proper deployment of the bag.
These recalls for improper manufacturing can result in serious injury or death, and the vehicles involved in the recall should not have passed the manufacturer’s quality control program to begin with. The following vehicles are included:
