It's always difficult to make a snap judgment without further information, but I'm inclined to be skeptical about this one. It's just too much of a coincidence.
There was some interesting research that shows that when a celebrity commits suicide that fatal single car accidents increase by 2-3% in the days afterwards. IIRC, Malcom Gladwell talks about it in his book "The Tipping Point." The Toyota debacle would seem to be a perfect example of an idea "tipping".
