Just saying that it is sad that "Made in USA" has changed from a badge of assurance and pride to a warning label. The FACT still remains that the models affected by this recall are all made in North america with a high US made parts content. The last defective new automotive electrical part I had was a distributor rotor. The thing was a mess, looked like the molding machine ran out of plastic. The part that fits over the distributor shaft was too short, rough and grainy looking plastic that fit sloppy loose on the distributor shaft, totally unusable. Yet a workman had installed the brass and steel parts on this junk bit of obviously defective plastic, it passed inspection and was put in a box for shipping. My prejadice showing, I wondered if this piece of junk came from China or Mexico ? I rolled the box around looking for the country of origin. Clearly printed on the box was "Made in USA" :-(

"High American content": Of the recalled models most have 50 to 85% American content with Highlander & RAV4 at 5% & 25%.
