Misery loves company, I guess.

Journalism around recalls is so strange, it's like every article about every problem is the end of the world and no automaker has ever issued a recall before.
Maybe Bilstein outsourced the ESCVs to Takata.

The interesting part of this story:

The Bilsteins that have parts fall off are the "cheapest" set of shocks Toyota will sell you. They are an upsell on the Ford.

Also - only 48,000 Tacomas went for the cheapest option. Toyota sold like 400,000 2024-2025 Tacomas.

You can tell this story was written by AI. The tell? Count how many times it says "quietly". No one uses quietly to describe anything.

Another interesting aspect of Toyota's handling of this is that they are owning the falling reservoir's "road hazard to other motorists" reality, though personally I don't think it is a huge deal.

Ford if I recall did never acknowledged this.

I wonder how bilstein got caught with their pants down on this from an engineering/manufacturing point of view? Another instance of the China factory not using the quality of metal spec'd maybe?

Your attention isn't gained by a car on the side of the road. Now, one lit on fire full of clowns and dog-shaped balloons, hey now!!

I use quietly quite often, at least as quietly as quietly can be used in the right way that quietly should be used, which is quietly and not loudly, which would not be quietly and thus an incorrect way of using quietly as quietly as quietly possible, you see.

You are now quietly added to a list. Do not ask what list or you will be quietly added to another list, and you do not want that, quietly or not. Quietly go on your way, we will be quietly watching.

You have to quietly say it.
