Toyota recall costs the Japanese one more lawsuit

The latest struggle Toyota had with a lawsuit in America (where else) saw them losing out another...

Toyota’s recall comes back to life

Toyota’s still full of money

Over the past year we've seen and heard a lot about how Toyota has spent millions and millions of dollars with their massive recall. We've also heard how the Japanese have even payed fines and penalties worth several more millions and now we find the whole thing hasn't really affected them. Don't get me wrong, nobody gets over nearly $70...
