" Toyota is, as has been established in this thread, more proactive in their recalls than other manufactures."
As has been established? There is ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF of this.
I don't think anyone's been keeping track, but it *is* Toyota policy (from my observation) to get out a recall before NHTSA begins a full formal investigation into a problem. I believe that this could be confirmed by checking to see how many of the recalls are "voluntary" versus "voluntary/in conjunction with the NHTSA". Toyota will have more of the former, most other makers (Ford comes to mind again) have more of the latter. And Ford (again, using them as an example - GM, DCX and even smaller makers like Jaguar when they were independent are all guilty of this) sometimes waits until NHTSA *forces* them to have a recall, which damages customer relations.
I believe if you look at history, you won't find a single *NHTSA forced* Toyota recall in the last 15-20 years.

Prove to me that Ford or GM is more proactive in recalls.
You cannot. WHERE IS YOUR PROOF!
