Motor company to recall plaything over head-on accident (6)
I believe the answer is:
toyota
'motor company' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'recall plaything over head-on accident' is the wordplay.
'recall' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'plaything' becomes 'toy' (synonyms).
'head' indicates taking the first letters.
'on' is an insertion indicator.
'accident' becomes 'at' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The first letter of 'over' is 'o'.
'toy'+'o'='toyo'
'toyo' going within 'at' is 'atoyot'.
'atoyot' reversed gives 'TOYOTA'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for toyota that I've seen before include "vehicle?" , "Japanese car firm" , "Japanese car maker" , "Turn to a toy for a car maker" , "Car manufacturer" .)
