Toyota Recall for Gas Pedal sticking issues
Posted on 2/4/2010
I like Toyota, they discover a problem, and they step up to the plate and announce a plan to fix it. Recalling and holding production on 270,000 effected vehicles Also this is a very rare condition, but I like to keep my clients informed. If you find the pedal sticks Toyota recommends applying the brakes, pulling over, shut off car and have it towed to be repaired. Do not drive it until it is fixed I called my Toyota dealer to inquire about repair, and they are waiting for the parts, but offered to inspect the pedal for wear. Cars effected: Some 2009-2010 Rav4, 2009-2010 Matrix, not sure if the GM twin Vibe is effected yet. 2005-2010 Avalon, 2007-2010 Camry, 2009-2010 Corolla, 2010 Highlander, 2007-2010 Tundra, and the 2008-2010 Sequoia Cars Not Effected at this time are: All Lexus cars, Sienna vans, Tacoma trucks, Venza, Solara, Yaris, Hybrid Prius, Hybrid Camry, Hybrid Highlanders, and Land Cruiser. Toyota’s fix from there web site, is to repair the issue with a precision cut steel reinforcement bar to eliminate the potential rare binding issue.
