Err......ouch ouch ouch ouch painful review.

No, Toyota was fined because they had recalled their "sticky" pedal assembly in Japan and Europe, but did not issue a recall for the exact same assembly in the US. They had determined that there was a safety risk worthy of a recall, but did not issue a recall in the US, and thus violated the same 5-day rule.

I made this photochop when Scion announced FR-S Concept (2011) and man, I'm dead on the open top concept!
