November 30, 2009 – According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Office of Defect Investigations (ODI), Toyota is recalling the following certain Model Year (MY) 2004-2010 passenger vehicles: Lexus ES350 MY 2007-2010, Lexus IS MY 2006-2010, Toyota Avalon MY 2005-2010, Toyota Camry MY 2007-2010, Toyota Prius MY 2004-2009, Toyota Tacoma MY 2005-2010, and Toyota Tundra MY 2007-2010.
The accelerator pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver’s floor mat. A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
This recall affects approximately 4,260,319 vehicles.
