Quote: "But it was the Toyota Highlander's temporarily suspended recommendation, due to a recall-related "stop sale" order, that really vaulted the Traverse over the top."

People need to wake up don't they?

Toyota's issues are not new. In 2006 the Japanese Government sued Toyota for not issuing recalls. Toyota's acting like this latest problem is something new, It's not! That company has some real issues.

From a Japanese web site (translated)

As a result, Toyota is also knowing it covered up defects in cars for over 10 years, is under investigation by the Japanese government in 2006 published an apology on the seat of President Watanabe. Also last year, the lawyer in charge of the case was an accident in the U.S. Toyota, "Toyota was an organized cover-up the risk of accidents due to insufficient strength of the roof of the car" as called for Toyota.
