Regular people watch the news, surf the web, and for the most part pay attention to what is going on.
If this was just on car sites, then no one cares.
But its on all major networks, its all over the place. Its on Yahoo and other sites.
People looing to buy a car, which are the ones that would want this info, are looking at auto sites. And with that, they will see this info.
And with that info, they will question the quality of Toyota. And anyone that does a bit more research then reading a paper, magazine, or even overhearing it. will find out that this rabbit hole goes deeper.

And thats all that really matters. They dont have to know the details, but the more this comes out, and the longer it goes on, and the longer Toyota dances around it, then its going to become a bigger problem.
GM, Ford and Chrysler didnt fall from grace because they had one problem. It was a slow death that went on for about 20 years. This will continue to go on and on, and now that if anyone just raises a question about quality of toyota, thats all it will take for more and more people to go to other brands, be it Big 3 or others. When they get there, they will realize that these cars are very good, and that Toyota isnt as cracked up as they thought it was.
When more people do that, Toyota's star will fall.
