---------
Authorities are investigating what caused the car to go into the building. One theory reporteldy is that the car was attempting to park in front of the building and somehow went out of control.

*reportedly

Anyways how does a car just "suddenly" go out of control? lol

Car Companies DO NOT recall craps like window seal or anything like thing.

Recalls are only issued on "safety" concerns.

Anything to do with brakes, acceleration, airbags, etc etc. Will be recalled.

If Companies were forced to "recall" a vehicles on minor stuff like Window seals, the G35 would be one huge loss for Infiniti. lol

Imagine every single G35 in for a recall for window seal, window motor, door lock mechanism, Oil consumption, rear axle clicks, sun roof motor, air bag lights, etc etc.

Must be one hell of a surprise when you're sitting in the bathroom and a car busts through.

1971 - General Motors recalls 6.7 million vehicles due to engine mounts that separated from the vehicle and impacted the throttle.

1981 - GM recalls 5.8 million vehicles due to loose suspension bolts that affected steering.

1996 - Ford recalls more than 8 million vehicles to replace defective ignition switches that could cause electrical shorts and engine fires.

July 1998 - GM recalls close to 1 million Cadillac, Pontiac and Chevrolet cars because of fears the air bags could deploy by accident.

August 2000 - Japanese tyre maker Bridgestone Corp recalls 14.4 million ATX, ATX II and Wilderness tyres installed on Ford's Explorer SUVs and sold separately in stores. The recall applies to all tyres produced at its Firestone U.S. division.2004 - GM recalls nearly 4 million pickups because of corroding tailgate cables.

April 2005 - GM says it recalls more than 2 million vehicles to fix a variety of potential safety defects. GM says the largest of the safety actions relates to problems with 2nd-row seat belts on 1.5 million full-size pickups and SUVs from 2003-05 model years.

October 2005 - Toyota recalls 1.4 million cars globally, including the Corolla and 15 other models, due to trouble with the headlight switching systems.

December 2007 - Chrysler LLC says it would recall more than 575,000 vehicles as long-term wear on the gear shift assembly could cause a shift out of Park without the key in the ignition. The recall involves 2001-02 model-year Dodge Dakota pickups, Durango SUVs and Ram vans and 2002 Ram pickups.

August 2008 - GM announces recall of 857,735 vehicles equipped with a heated windscreen wiper fluid system that could cause a short-circuit.

September 2009 - Toyota says to recall around 3.8 million vehicles in the U.S. because of floor mats that could come loose and force down the accelerator. The problem is suspected in crashes that killed 5 people.

October 2009 - Ford completes a series of recalls affecting 14 million vehicles due to a faulty cruise control deactivation switch. The latest recall effectively closes out a 10-year saga over the switches.

January 2010 - Honda recalls 646,000 Fit/Jazz and City cars globally over a faulty window switch after a child died in 2009 when fire broke out in a car.
Sounds like "made in US" to me... there were plenty of other cars with serious life threatening issues like rolling over, bad gas tank placement (ehem, Pinto), etc... that were never recalled, so I'd give Toyota props for stepping up and admitting a mistake, and taking the responsibility to fix it.
