Sticking accelerator pedals are again at the center of Toyota Motor Corp.’s latest recall.
Toyota today announced the voluntary recall of several model years of its Highlander, GS, RX, 4Runner, Lexus LX 570, and RAV4 models. It warned that if the floor carpet surrounding the accelerator pedals were not placed properly, the pedals may become stuck in a depressed position rather than returning to idle.
As with other recalls, Toyota and Lexus dealers will fix or replace the carpets at no charge to vehicle owners.
Toyota has now recalled more than 14 million vehicles since the start of 2009.
