Toyota Recalls Automobiles over Sticking Accelerator

 Posted on January 15, 2010 in Uncategorized

Sales of 8 Toyota models voluntarily stopped.

Irv Miller, group vice president for Toyota Motor Sales, said in a press release "Our investigation indicates that there is a possibility that certain accelerator pedal mechanisms may, in rare instances, mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position."

The recall affects roughly 2.3 million Toyota vehicles. The following Toyota models have been included in the recall and voluntary suspension of sales:

. 2009-10 RAV4. 2009-10 Corolla. 2009-10 Matrix. 2005-10 Avalon. 2007-10 Camry. 2010 Highlander. 2007-10 Tundra. 2008-10 Sequoia

Toyota suggests that if you believe your vehicle is suffering from a sticking acceleration pedal, you should drive the Toyota vehicle to the nearest safe location, shut the engine shut off and contact a Toyota dealer for assistance.
