The same reason the amount of people with sticky throttles has increased 100 fold as soon as toyota has announced the problem.
No "stance", no "hellaflush", none of that bullshit. Nothing but no grip on full boost.

Really, dubious dealings in American politics, Never!
Oh wait, yeah maybe considering the number of 'american' manufacturer recalls in the last few weeks.
I've also heard its a tactic to force Toyota to allow unionisation. Sort of perhaps if you do this for us, we might stop the number of media announcements on things.
Ending up with spare parts in assembling things since 1983
