Wow, Toyota is getting to be like a real, live car company, not just some infallible, cyborg automaker with a money-printing kit in its basement. The company is casting a wide recall net for nearly 900,000 SUVs and pickups to fix a ball-joint defect, which reportedly caused at least one accident in Japan due to a steering malfunction. The recall effects 4Runner models built between 2001 and 2002, Tundra pick-ups and Sequoia SUVs from 2001-2003, and Tacoma pick-up trucks from mid-2001 to the end of 2003.
