Chile Forum

I found this article on line and I was wondering if it registers on anybody's BS. meter.
According to news reports, the recall could extend across Europe as well.
Can anyone provide other examples of events that seem not to effect Chile?
SANTIAGO -(Dow Jones)- Toyota Chile rules out safety flaws in any of the vehicles it has sold in Chile between 2005 and 2010, the company's marketing and planning director Patricio Sarabia told Dow Jones Newswires.

Earlier this week, Toyota halted sales of most of its popular models in the U.S. because of safety concerns. It recalled millions of vehicles in the U.S. last week following growing reports of unintended acceleration.

Meanwhile, Toyota Motor Corp.'s (TM: 76.94, -0.72, -0.93%) quality concerns in the U.S. have spread to China, with a potential accelerator pedal flaw prompting the recall of more than 70,000 RAV4 sport-utility vehicles sold in China.

"To date, there have been no indications that there are any security flaws with the vehicles Toyota sells in Chile," Sarabia said.

During the last five years, Toyota has sold 13,334 Corolla; 5,790 RAV4; 472 Camry; 44 Tundra and 14 Sequoia model vehicles in Chile, according to the executive.

The Camry, RAV4 and Corolla models were built in Japan for the Chilean market, while the Tundra and Sequoia cars were manufactured in the U.S. for the Latin American market, he added.

Toyota reports on its Web site that the accelerator pedal recall and suspension of sales is limited to its 2009-2010 RAV4, 2009-2010 Corolla, 2009-2010 Matrix, 2005-2010 Avalon, certain 2007-2010 Camry, 2010 Highlander except hybrid models, 2007-2010 Tundra, and 2008-2010 Sequoia division vehicles.
