I understand why the actual numbers are so high. What really floors me is the percentage of their cars sold in the US that have been recalled.
This is from then end of July:

Thursday's announcement brings the size of Toyota's recalls to about 9.5 million cars and trucks in the U.S. since October, with some recalls affecting models as old as the 1998 model year. That means of the 24.1 million vehicles Toyota has sold in the U.S. since 1998, as tracked by Wards AutoInfoBank, Toyota has recalled about 39 percent.

So add another 1.1 million cars to that recall total (now 10.6 million), and you are looking at roughly 43%-44% of all vehicles that Toyota has sold in the United States in the last 12 years has been recalled within the last 10 months.
That's insane......
