These are not the same issue. Maybe the same cause, but not the same safety alert. Thank you for you ignorance.

No worries. You said it was old news (at least an hour old), so I should have known not to post it. Just following your lead. Unless you are upset at the "ignorant" comment. And if you are, I fear you may be ignorant in the definition of ignorant.

I don't see anything authoritative, that is, nothing on either Toyota's or NHTSA's web site.

It's like one news outlet ran a story and everyone else is re-running the same content, which is how the Internet works these days.
