You are correct cooldhaya! You might have noticed the frustration from Europe and US regarding TATA and M&M. All are talking (read concerned & frustrated) about TATA's move to launch NANO & ARIA in Europe & US: The same is true for M&M. People just can't believe and accept that Indian companies are growing and has international safety standards ![[:D]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Big%20Smile.gif "Big Smile [:D]")
In US all are worried about M&M because of their track record in agricultural field. M&M is considered to be a trusted brand over there. In Europe, companies are really worried about NANO as if it is a good car, it will surely dominate the market as people generally has the inclination towards small hatches. And point to be notes, none of the Indian manufacturers ever had to recall their products !! (Even if some thing wrong, I suspect whether they will do it or not)

you were right, even BMW has also recalled X6 now!!BMW is recalling certain model year 2010 X5 and X6 sport activity vehicles manufactured between December 14, 2009 and December 16, 2009, in order to correct a defect that could make affect safety in a rollover crash.
In a recall notice filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the automaker explains, “In the upper right area of the windshield, bonding may be insufficient over a length of approximately 50 cm. … In the case of a rollover, the stability of the roof could be affected increasing the risk of injuries.
BMW has not yet explained how it plans to fix the problem, or when owners can expect to receive a recall notice in the mail. Conerned owners may contact BMW at 1-800-831-1117.

I never expected something like this from a trusted brand like Toyota, which always claims "Quality Revolution". That too on such a large scale! And now, other manufacturers are following suit, to avoid a slew of tragedies, just like Toyota faced. However, it is heartening to see that manufacturers are taking notice, and undertaking recalls to rectify the problems.
actually i believe problems can occur with any carmaker (even our very own Maruti!!) anytime so Toyota can not be blamed but on flip side their quality is questionable. anyways hoping things to get well soon with all these companies which have announced a recall.
