My point is that all of these companies make mistakes, and it's silly to say you would not ride in a Lexus due to this recall, e.g., if you total the accidents and deaths, I suspect you have a better chance of being hit by lightening or by a vehicle while crossing the street, than injured due to the Toyota/Lexus throttle problem.
Someday BMW may have a similar problem. In the past couple of years, BMW Motorcycles have had leaking fuel lines, and the recent BMW MOA motorcycle club magazine had an article, with photos, of a new BMW motorcycle that caught file while being ridden and burnt to toast on the side of the road.
That said, I would never buy a Lexus, but not because of any safety issues or fear of riding in it. And I can understand why someone else might prefer a Lexus to an BMW.
P.S.
