Toyota announced voluntary safety recall for Corollas
Toyota has announced a "Voluntary Safety Recall" on Certain Toyota Corolla and Corolla Matrix Models, CNNMoney.com has confirmed.
The company says the recall is to address some “Engine Control Modules (ECM) that may have been improperly manufactured.”
The voluntary recall is for the approximately 1.13 million 2005-2008 model Corolla and Corolla Matrix models sold in North America.
No other Toyota or Lexus vehicles are involved in this recall, the company says.
There are three unconfirmed accidents alleged to be related to this condition, one of which reported a minor injury, the company says in its press release.

Geez, I am certain that it is time to buy domestic now! This is getting ridiculous!
Are these toyotas made in the US or outside the US?
Made in the USA for sure!
I suppose you don't realize how many recalls there are, including domestic. What you're seeing now is a selection of a specific manufacturer's dirty laundry being displayed for everyone to see. Doesn't mean domestic cars aren't getting same amount of recalls.
Domestic? You mean the cars made in Mexico?
Something like 90% of all cars sold in the US are built here, no matter the brand name
Made in the USA with imported parts.
Aww not really, it's just that the US manufactured vehicle defects were either buried by their bankruptcies or the media.
oh stop your complaining......there is always something wrong with EVERYTHING you buy. lame....
Most Corollas and Camry's are made in Georgetown, Kentucky, pal, so they are domestic.
the supplier of the part was delphi based out of troy michigan
Toyota has one of the lowest labour cost than any of the major domestic or foreign car manfacturers. I guess you get what you paid for 🙂
That doesn't make any sense. Lower labor costs allow for more money put into their cars.
If t=you think the labor is cheap in the U.S, think again. Most Toyotas sold in USA are made in the U.s.
Actually, the cars are not made in the USA, they are assembled in the USA, all the parts and components come from over seas.
I'm hard pressed to understand if this is Toyota finally dealing with stuff it wouldn't deal with before in a preemptive move, or Toyota dealing with this stuff because the NHSTA now has it bad for Toyota.
YES!
In my opinion, Toyota previously stonewalled the NHTSA and public over various quality issues, such as the sticky accelerator pedals that caused unintended acceleration. As a result, the company got a lot of bad publicity, which caused a loss of goodwill. Toyota is simply trying to get ahead of the curve in their attempt to try to regain the trust that was broken with the public. In fact, in some ways, Toyota and Tiger Woods have shown similar behaviors:

Toyota is the worst company ever!
We both know that isn't true.
This years alone, there have been more Domestic Car Recalls than Foreign. See mycarstats dot com
May not be true but regardless, that is apples and oranges.
You cannot compare them because the domestics may have had twice as many models for sale. So twice as many recalls makes them equal. Think about it.
In the last 30 days, there have been 10 times more Domestic Cars Safety recalls than all Foreign models combined. See mycarstats dot com slash auto_recalls_last_30_days dot asp
Ahh hell, well at least its not an American recall.
1,130,000 vehicles and 3 unconfirmed accidents that MAY be related to the issue? There were probalby many more parking lot fender benders related to these vehicles than that. GET A GRIP AMERICA!
Toyotas last longer than most american cars
Is that before or after they are recalled and fixed?
I'm sure your joshin
piece of crab!
piece of crab? where? in your teeth?
Nissan should learn from the recalls of Toyota and recall the Altimas that shut off automatically in traffic, people have probably die because of this, but they are ignoring the problem. There was a recall for this, but it didn't fix the problem. –2005 Nissan Altima

Toyota Owners need to buy mandatory Life Insurance, Toyota sucks period!
Toyota is jus having a bad moment! But toyota vehicles ROCKS!! They are invensible!! Greatest SUV ever, my 2002 toyota land cruiser has 260,000miles and is and still solid as hell!
Yeah Ok just dont drive behind me with your pile of Junk
I really believe Toyota has learned from their earlier mistakes and is now making a concerted effort to correct any perceived defect. I own two Toyota's and admittedly was a quite concerned when the whole host of recalls first emerged. Rest assured, Toyota makes a quality automobile. However I also believe at least one domestic auto maker, Ford, really gets the concept of what the general public needs in automible – Value and reliability. Ford never took the buyout. Instead, they retooled thier inventory and I believe last quarter produced a significant profit. They have come a long way from the days of the exploding Pinto!
Toyota sucks, had two camrys both with major Engine problems that later i found to be a commion problems
millions complaints on the internet, about time someone make them do some recalls to fix all their faults!!!
ill never touch Toyota product again
@NissanMan: Your frustration with Toyota is clear, but your statement "about time someone make them do some recalls to fix all their faults" doesn't make sense since the article says Toyota has announced a "Voluntary Safety Recall". Perhaps we are using different definitions for the word VOLUNTARY.
Guess who made that ECU...... AC DELCO
It's an ECM. Get it right.
Where's your proof that AC Delco made it?
