There is also one Pontiac model involved in this recall, i think it may be the Aztek.

How could an Aztek (or any Pontiac) be involved in an overseas Ford recall?

Looks like they done it out of caution. It doesn't say anywhere that it actually had the same problems as the Toyotas, it's just form the same supplier that Toyota gets their pedals.

I think the aztek is being recalled for being Fugly. When cars see it on the road they might crash because they go blind.
