On January 21, we announced a recall on select Toyota vehicles for sticking
accelerator pedals.  In recent months, Toyota has investigated isolated
reports of sticking accelerator pedal mechanisms in certain vehicles
without the presence of floor mats.

Our investigation indicates that there is a possibility that certain
accelerator pedal mechanisms may, in rare instances, mechanically stick in
a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position.
Consistent with our commitment to the safety of our cars and our customers,
we have initiated this voluntary recall action.

We have found that over time, some accelerator pedal mechanisms may become
worn.  As a result of this wear combined with certain operating and
environmental conditions, friction in the mechanism may increase and
intermittently result in the accelerator pedal being hard to depress, slow
to return or, in the worst case, stick in a partially open position.

Drivers may notice gradually over a period of time that the accelerator
pedal is harder to depress or is slow to return. In some cases, the driver
may notice a rough or chattered feeling when depressing/releasing the
accelerator pedal.

In the event that a driver experiences an accelerator pedal that sticks in
a partial open throttle position or returns slowly to idle position, the
vehicle can be controlled with firm and steady application of the brakes.
The brakes should not be pumped repeatedly because it could deplete vacuum
assist, requiring stronger brake pedal pressure. The vehicle should be
driven to the nearest safe location, the engine shut off and a Toyota
dealer contacted for assistance.

No Lexus or Scion vehicles are involved.

We are in the process of determining the remedy for this condition.  Toyota
owners who have further questions or concerns should contact the Toyota
Customer Experience Center at 1-800 331-4331.
