Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood Misspoke About Toyota Recall
We had an instant rush of phone calls today as DOT Secretary LaHood said during a conference to stop driving your Toyota if it is part of the gas pedal recall. There is no official recommendation by Toyota or the government to stop driving your Toyota. However, if you have any direct concerns please contact us. Service hours will be extended to handle this recall. We will be booking appointments as early as today. Fill out this from if you would like us to call you and book an appointment.
From the Wall Street Journal -
NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) pared earlier declines after U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said he had misspoke when he had advised in congressional testimony that people stop driving cars involved in Toyota's recall, advice that had initially caused a steep drop in Toyota's shares.
Testifying before the House Appropriations committee, where he was scheduled to talk about the fiscal 2011 budget, LaHood was asked what advice he would give to owners of Toyotas subject to the recall.
"My advice is, if anybody owns one of these vehicles, stop driving it, take it to the Toyota dealer because they believe they have the fix for it," LaHood said.
Afterwards he told reporters that wasn't what he meant to say.
"What I said in there was obviously a misstatement," LaHood said outside of the hearing room. "My advice is if you have one of these vehicles, if you are in doubt, take it to the dealership today."
DOT spokesman Bill Adams said in an email, "The DOT is advising owners of recalled vehicles to contact their local dealerships to arrange for fixes as soon as possible." -Source: WSJ 02/03/2010
