Amen to that.

Setting blame for product defect due to production capabilities within particular national boundaries is..laughable. Please, do instruct us (we're listening) in the science of separating design/engineering/production processes by hundreds or thousands of suppliers based upon physical location.
Sorry, things aren't as simple anymore - do you know otherwise?

so there was no recall on the Yaris due to the belt tensioners and possible fire hazard?

NEW YORK -- Toyota is recalling 1.3 million vehicles worldwide due to a seat belt defect. The recall includes more than 130,000 Yaris models sold in the U.S.
Toyota Motor Sales USA says it is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 134,900 model-year 2006 and 2007 Yaris subcompact cars. The automaker says in severe front-end collisions, the seat belt is at risk of causing a foam pad in the vehicle to ignite.

if they were sold in the U.S., werent they made in Japan?
