Car Accidents and Toyota Recalls

Los Angeles car accidents are directly related to the recent Toyota recalls for the very fact that defective products can result in serious crashes.  Thousands of drivers in Los Angeles own Toyota models and may be at risk of being involved in a car accident.  Unfortunately it can take several lost lives and hundreds of reported injuries for a recall to ever be issued.  The initial Toyota product recall was announced after an investigation into a faulty floor mat which was believed to have caused a serious collision.  This crash resulted in the wrongful death of several people.

After the floor mat recall a further investigation revealed that it was actually a malfunctioning gas pedal that was leading to excessive speeds which prevented drivers from stopping the vehicle.  A recall was announced to warn Toyota owners of the possibility of a Los Angeles car accident.  If you own one of the following automobiles you should have it inspected immediately:

• 2005-2010 Avalon
• 2007-2010 Tundra
• 2008-2010 Sequoia
• Certain 2009-2010 RAV4
• Certain 2009-2010 Corolla
• 2009-2010 Matrix
• Certain 2007-2010 Camry
