When news broke recently that Toyota was already recalling its all-new 2011 Sienna after just a few months on sale, it seemed like a stale joke.

But when you cut through all the noise, it’s still an open question as to whether Toyota’s quality is any different than that of any other car company. Consider this week’s roll call of recalls:
