NHTSA recall 05V565000
Vehicle Speed Control · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: On certain passenger vehicles, there is a possibility that the accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in the partially depressed position due to inadequate clearance between the accelerator pedal linkage and a plastic pad embedded into the vehicle's carpet.
Why it matters: This condition may interfere with the accelerator pedal returning to the idle position, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the clearance of the acceleration pedal and carpet, replace the pedal assembly with a revised assembly, and modify the carpet free of charge. The recall began on December 27, 2005.
