Default MASSIVE XB RECALL !

This was posted in this mornings USA Today and New York Times Newspapers / Scion is recalling all XB's that have been sold in the US. It states that the problem is with some linkage that will stick and cause the vehicle to keep going, unable to stop. The article states that letters will be mailed to all owners who have taken delivery and vehicles that have not been delivered will be corrected and shipped !

Damn .... This is not good !

HERE IS THE LINK:

That was funny. You actually had me thinking that I was going to speed down to the dealership this mourning to beat the rush of xB's. Got me good.

Imagine their faces when they see a line of people who want to return their cars

No one's gonna get me with that A-1 chit. I just saw recall XB and I KNEW what was up! Actually, some co-workers tried to get me with that when they found I had a deposit down on one.

Ya...no one's gettin me this year...just gotta wipe the rest of this vaseline off my ear from the phone.
