"What is it about Americans that makes Toyota so paranoid?"........two words: lawsuit happy. We don't have 'loser pays' as a default concept. Many other countries do. Loser pays means that if you bring a lawsuit against another entity and you lose then you pay the legal bills incurred by the other party. This helps cut down on frivolous lawsuits. Some people almost manage to make a business out of bringing lawsuits and sometimes the only recourse against such a person is getting the person declared a vexatious litigant if the criteria fit, but that can be a difficult task.
