LOS ANGELES -- Toyota Motor Corp., spurred by criticism that previous recalls failed to prompt enough owners to seek fixes, hopes to distribute mailings this week to the 2.3 million owners targeted in a January recall, according to Automotive News.

Toyota says it will be vigilant in reaching each of the affected customers and hopes to have all repairs done within 90 days.

The goal was outlined today as the automaker detailed its strategy for eliminating the possibility of unintended acceleration in the eight Toyota-brand models that were the focus of a Jan. 21 recall.

One allegation in a lawsuit filed against Toyota last June in Los Angeles over broken steering rods was that Toyota was lax in notifying nearly 1 million owners targeted in an October 2005 recall.
