Transportation Secretary retracts recommendation not to drive recalled Toyota vehicles
Toyota shares dropped when Transportation Secretary Roy LaHood told a congressional committee that drivers of the recalled Toyota vehicles should not drive them until they are fixed. Later at a press conference, LaHood retracted the statement and said, "What I meant to say ... was if you own one of these cars or if you're in doubt, take it to the dealer and they're going to fix it."
In congressional hearings, he said, "My advice is, if anybody owns one of these vehicles, stop driving it, take it to the Toyota dealer...." Seems clear to me. You decide.
