Everyone dealing with the topic quality used to swear by Toyota. Toyota's production system was an absolute benchmark everyone will cite as a benchmark. It was a legend and it endured for a long time! However this is totally shaken now. There has been several recalls of different models of Toyota cars on quality issues. So what happened! Difficult to say. May be the company got complacent and all those watchful eyes monitoring the assembly lines slipped. May be there was conscious cutting of corners. In a nutshell they must have deviated from their legendary quality assurance processes.
Some reports of bad component quality surfaced but then the vendor of the final product is responsible for the overall quality and these sound like passing the blame. If true, it'd still mean processes failed in determining the incoming quality of these components/sub-systems. It would be interesting to find out what really happened! Let's watch and see.
