Toyota’s Reputation Management Division Working Over Time After Huge Recall
January 29, 2010 by Mike · 3 Comments
It appear that Toyota has it’s reputation management firm working over time since the news was announced that over 2 million vehicle have been recalled due to a potential problem with the gas pedals sticking.
The reason why I’m aware of this is simple. I did a blog post earlier on another blog, and my RSS Feed updates my Facebook Status. I clicked on the link (from Facebook) and this is what I got:
Toyota Had My Facebook Link Blocked (Click to visit the post that was blocked)
I’m not sure how many reports Facebook would require to block a link, but it just goes to show you how important reputation management is and how to act swiftly.
I’m sure this is a PR nightmare, but because of the serious safety issues of this recall I take my hat off to them for pulling the cars from being sold as well.
Facebook doesn’t believe in freedom of speech. And the co-founder is a Harvard Grad?

There biggest problem have been lack of positive PR, which apparently is typical for Japanese companies. However, I think this will set a new precedent for them

I love the Prius, it’s too bad to see such catastrophe’s happen at Toyota.
