While that's a pretty big flaw. Ford has not been immune to vehicle recalls. Or recalls that shoulda been...Ford Pinto anyone? That thing blew up!

Toyota is a known commodity for safety and longevity. They'll get it figured out.

The Pinto issue was a perfect example of the media creating an issue. One can simply do a bit of research and find the much aligned Pinto was in fact a safer vehicle then several esteemed models put out by ALL the manufacturers during that time frame. Audi was a great example. The VW Beetle is another example of how the media ignored the “ suicide seat” fault. The seat bolts would snap off when the Bug was involved in a collision which caused severe bodily harm or death to occupants. All makers have recalls and all the dealerships have garages filled with models that have suffered failures.

Well Ford did recall said Pintos to install a guard between the gas tank and some bolts that were piercing the tank during accidents.

On the other hand-

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found GM had data proving 19% of all side impacts involving these pickups had high fuel leakage potential. That’s why there were so many explosions.
Based on the NHTSA reporting over 2,000 people were killed in fire crashes in these trucks between 1973, when they were introduced, until 2009. Remember the exploding Ford Pintos? The pickup truck fatalities were 20-times more than in cases involving the Pinto.
NHTSA directed GM to recall over six million trucks to fix the problem, but GM refused.
