Maybe this is why they call it "The Fire Escape". That's a tiny recall by today's standards. Maybe they don't sell many of those, I don't know. They had a recall of Escapes in Sept. because the English-built 1.6L four had improperly installed coolant plugs that could lead to a fire. Well this just goes to show that you shouldn't buy the first year of any new model.

Toyota recalled 7.43 million vehicles on October 10. The reason: The Power Window Master Switch could melt, go up in smoke, or cause a fire. Don't they test those cars before they sell them?
