Absolutely !
A recall is basically a part of a car that MAY cause problems or on a very rare instances, IS causing problems, and the MANUFACTURER is nice enough to admit it and fix it for you.
Long term reliability basically means that the cars AGE GRACEFULLY or not.
If I were Toyota, I would be recalling and fixing any potential problems, rather than having the car fall apart 10 years down the road...
