OH SNAP!!! :o

That doesn't sound like an easy fix either.
Good maybe the NA market will go back up now that Toyota has finally shown THEY ARE NOT GODS :D.
Too bad it's only in Japan. Most of the Corrolla's they mentioned are the Euro / World wide spec, and not the Amercian versions that are totally different from them.

Quote:TOKYO — Toyota Motor Corp. ™, the world's second-largest auto maker, said on Tuesday it would recall a total of about 1 million vehicles globally to replace faulty intermediate shafts and sliding yokes.

In a filing with Japan's Transport Ministry, the company said it would recall a total of 565,756 vehicles in Japan, including Wish, Isis, Prius and other cars built between September 2002 and November 2005.

A Toyota spokesman said the recall would also cover about 400,000 units overseas.

The company said it had received no reports of accidents from the defects.

Toyota as a matter of policy does not disclose the cost of recalls.
