COMPONENT: Vehicle Speed Control: Accelerator Pedal
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 367594
SUMMARY:
On certain sport utility and hybrid vehicles, the two retaining clips for the driver's side forward center console can become loose. If both clips separate
from the floor carpet cover, the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal, causing interference with the accelerator pedal rod.
CONSEQUENCE:
This condition may interfere with the accelerator pedal returning to the idle position increasing the risk of a crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the two floor carpet cover retaining clips free of charge. The recall began on July 24, 2006, and should be completed by early
September 2006. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 or Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
