Toyota Recalls 280K Vehicles for Transmission Issue
TL;DR
Toyota is recalling 280,000 pickup trucks and SUVs in the US due to a safety issue where the transmission may not disengage entirely when in neutral, potentially causing the vehicles to "creep forward." The recall also includes other models due to various safety concerns, such as a software programming issue and problems with head restraints. Additionally, last year, Toyota warned about defective airbags in 1.2 million vehicles, which could fail to deploy as designed due to improperly manufactured sensors.
