TMC also has millions more in profit to fix it.

Sure, but on a larger scale, recalls for security are more expensive and I’m sure we know about this security problem but the majority of Toyota or Lexus users don’t.

 

Starting such kind of recalls will make an impact on also all those who had no idea of these things and Toyota probably is worried of the media coverage it can result in

The other hurdle is that U.K. is not the “significant” market for Toyota/Lexus compared to North America. Are the thefts occurring there as well in significant numbers.

Indeed, has Lexus agreed to install the metal plate also to the ES to try prevent the theft?

There seems to be more talk about this in the US recently and has been a problem in other countries for as long as in the UK:

No, I highlighting the fact that this is an issue in multiple countries - this one from part of Canada is an example.
