United States Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said today that the recent Toyota recalls come by way of an \u2018enormous effort,’ and that federal regulators are not done with their investigations.<\/p>\n
“Since questions were first raised about possible safety defects, we have been pushing Toyota to take measures to protect consumers,” LaHood said in a statement. “While Toyota is taking responsible action now, it unfortunately took an enormous effort to get to this point.”<\/p>\n
LaHood mentioned that had it not been for the governments urging, Toyota would not have issued the recall. Toyota is set to testify before Congress on two separate dates; Feb. 10 and Feb. 25.<\/p>\n
