Automotive Product Recalls and Defective Vehicles
May 23, 2014 by Adler Markoff & Associates
Motor vehicles are a big part of our society. Through transit, we send and receive food, medicine, clothing, our entire daily needs. When motor vehicle or parts of motor vehicles are recalled, it can be a problem and a legal risk.
Defects in motor vehicles can run a high-risk for our society. If we get into a car or on a jet ski with mis-manufactured motor parts or defects, we could be risking our lives.
Two of most recent recalls in motor vehicles is the Toyota and Yamaha brands. In the past month Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) announced several newer models recalled due to two safety recalls. Both recalls are directly related with the accelerator pedal. Toyota models with this problem are: RAV4 (2009-10), Corolla (2009-10), Camry (2007-10), Matrix hatchback 2009-10), Avalon large sedan (2005-10), Highlander crossover (2010), Tundra pickup (2007-10), and the Sequoia large SUV (2008-10). As of right now, Toyota is temporarily suspended until the problem is fixed.
The Yamaha Rhino was recently recalled in 2009 due to rollover safety defects. Models 450, 660 and 700 have injured and killed numbers of people throughout the U.S.
