Link please? And also please describe, in your own words, the flaw you are referring to.

Vague talk of "flawed design" really won't do at this point. Is its shape suboptimal? Or does it detach itself, fly around the cabin, and eat your children?

Note that the page is dated feb 2010 and it is not exactly late and breaking news.

BTW, this is why Toyota may be hit with a 16 million dollar fine. Toyota knew about the problem long ago but, they contiued to use them (world wide) in clear voilation of US law.
(Anyone who actually read the link from the original post would already know this.) Other countries may follow suit. As I already stated, China is really pissed at Toyota over this.
