Toyota recalls new Camry for transmission issue

Toyota is recalling one half of one percent of the new 2007 Camry sedans it started building this year for a
problem with their six-speed automatic transmissions. Affected vehicles may lose second and sixth gear while the
vehicle is on the move within the first 500 miles of use, but the automaker says that the problem won’t halt operation
of the car.

We wonder if this is the same issue we’ve been reading about on the Cheers & Gears forum? Maybe
even-numbered trannys aren’t Toyota’s thing — we’ll have to wait and see what happens with the eight-speed auto in the
new Lexus LS sedan!
