NHTSA recall 11V112000
Vehicle Speed Control · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: If the forward retention clip used to secure the floor carpet cover, which is located in front of the center console, is not installed properly the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal and interfere with the accelerator pedal arm.
Why it matters: If this occurs, the accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than return to the idle position. A stuck accelerator pedal may result in unintended and sustained vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will replace the floor carpet cover with a newly designed one free or charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during March 2011.
