It represents the ball joint recall. Toyota recalled every single Tundra-based vehicle ever made which includes every single Sequoia. When you start to build as many vehicles that Toyota does and share platforms, recalls start to magnify. It's just another possible risk/cost of attempting to consolidate parts. But in the long run, the benefit is worth the cost. The Sequoia number is deceptive. It represents the ball joint recall.

It doesn't reflect on the brand alone. If anyone thinks so, then do the last 10 years. Volkswagon isn't surprising since they normally have a lot of recalls/problems, but Toyota had an off year. I am surprised the Altima was so high as it is an older model and they usually improve over the cycle. These are just a snapshot of the current year. It doesn’t reflect on the brand alone.
