Just one last thing, Toyota recalls 2.1 million more cars
Finally, is this the end of the bad news for the Japanese car giant? The American authorities say it definitely is.
This time the Japanese giant is expanding its recall in the US to include 2.1 million more Lexus and Toyota vehicles to fix floor mats that can jam against accelerator pedals - so-called "pedal entrapment".
Toyota says the recalls are "voluntary" but US regulators say they requested them.
Last year hundreds of thousands of cars were recalled to replace mats or replace pedal mechanisms. Toyota's electronic throttle systems were NOT to blame for unintended acceleration, the government has just reported. Just floor mats, it seems.
The new recall should finally be the end of it. David Strickland, administrator of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said they had reviewed more than 400,000 pages of Toyota documents "to determine whether the scope of its recalls for pedal entrapment was sufficient.
"As a result of the agency's review, NHTSA asked Toyota to recall these additional vehicles, and now that the company has done so, our investigation is closed."
