Recall 05V565000: Potential Accelerator Pedal Sticking
MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
Lexus/IS250 2006
MANUFACTURER: Toyota Motor North America, Inc.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V565000 MFG'S REPORT DATE: December 16, 2005
COMPONENT: Vehicle Speed Control: Accelerator Pedal
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 3567
SUMMARY:
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.
CONSEQUENCE:
This condition may interfere with the accelerator pedal returning to the idle position, increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
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 is expected to begin in late December 2005. Owners may contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
