Toyota Recalls 2.3M Vehicles to Correct Sticking Accelerator Pedals
Posted on Jan 25, 2010
Toyota said Thursday it is recalling 2.3 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix accelerator pedals that can become stuck, the latest in a string of quality problems that have bedeviled the Japanese automaker.
Toyota has issued a recall on some of its vehicles due to a problem with an accelerator mechanism that can cause the pedal to become stuck, causing uncontrollable acceleration. Toyota had previously blamed the problem on the pedals becoming stuck under the vehicles floor mat.
This problem has been labeled the cause of several crashes, including the death of four people in San Diego that were riding in a Lexus that accelerated to more than 120 mph before crashing.
The recall affects the 2009-2010 RAV4, the 2009-2010 Corolla, the 2009-2010 Matrix, the 2005-2010 Avalon, the 2007-2010 Camry, the 2010 Highlander, the 2007-2010 Tundra and the 2008-2010 Sequoia.
A total of 1.7 million vehicles contain the gas pedal system that is manufactured by a single supplier for Toyota.
