MANUFACTURER: Toyota Motor Corporation
MFR'S REPORT DATE: January 14, 2009
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 09V023000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA08014
COMPONENT: Vehicle Speed Control: Accelerator Pedal
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 26501
SUMMARY:
Toyota is conducting a safety improvement campaign involving 26,501 early 2004 M/Y Sienna vehicles. In the event the retention clip used to secure
the floor carpet cover is missing, the cover can interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal if the acceleration pedal is depressed to nearly the full
throttle position.
CONSEQUENCE:
If this occurs, the accelerator pedal can become stuck which could result in a vehicle crash.
REMEDY:
Dealers will replace the retention clip and floor carpet cover at no charge. The manufacturer will begin notifying owners in early February 2009. Owner
notification is expected to be completed by early April 2009. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-888-270-9371, if they have any further questions.
notes:
This action is deemed a safety improvement campaign and is not being conducted under the safety act. However, Toyota has informed NHTSA that it
will provide the modifications described above at no cost.
