Toyota Recall
Toyota will be recalling nearly 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The report cites this recall will be in an effort to fix a safety problem where floor mats are jamming the accelerator. The unsecured floor mats are allegedly either getting caught or somehow jamming the accelerator to a point where the vehicles are speeding out of control. Some of these vehicles have led to horrible crashes killing innocent occupants. A recent crash has finally prompted Toyota to take some action according to NHTSA. Of course it remains to be seen if it truly is the floor mats causing these problems or if it possible there are other issues with these vehicles.
The impending U.S. recall, the largest in Toyota's ( TM - news - people ) history, followed a horrific crash last month in San Diego in which a mat was suspected of snagging a gas pedal on a runaway Lexus, ending with a fiery crash that killed four family members.
The recall will invlove the following models:
The affected vehicles include 2007-2010 Camry, 2005-2010 Avalon, 2004-2009 Prius, 2005-2010 Tacoma, 2007-2010 Tundra, 2007-2010 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2010 Lexus IS 250 and IS350
