It’s funny that a majority of the motor heads here are quick to snip at Toyota's failures. When GM failed none of the other boards online were saying don't do the bail-out.
Here's a quick breakdown of all the GM (Chevrolet & Caddy) Recalls from the past 20 years.

Now for Toyota

Sure Toyota's been bringing in the recalls at a steady slope since last year, it’s not commendable to any manufacturer to trade off quality for the production of a vehicle, and even the diehard fan database agrees that over the years quality has decreased for profit by Toyota.
Out of all the makers however, everyone can learn a thing or two from Porsche,
Porsche is probably the best in-terms of reliability and quality; most owners also push their Porsche’s to the living daylights….
My second to last current vehicle purchase was a Toyota based product, but they won’t be seeing my money anytime soon unless their act is together. Nissan got the last bite for now as the Z was a good package when it came out; it offered a combination of everything that was required, (performance and a really good aftermarket support network); with decent quality, fit and finish. And with the last 350z project that car was tossed around quite a bit on and off the racetrack and it survived my wrath as well as a few other co-drivers.
This brake seal recall is due to the mixing of DOT 4//DOT 5// and DOT 5.1 without proper bleeding.

That's great. You're on a Camaro forum. If you come here showing an obvious bias to anything but the Camaro or GM, you should be prepared to be flamed.
Furthermore, the pages you linked appear to tally the number recalls and not the number of vehicles recalled.
