Philadelphia Auto Accident Attorney Speaks Out About Toyota Recall

rosenberg — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 13:29:49 +0000

On January 21, 2010, Toyota Motors (TM) suspended sales of 8 models and recalled 2.3 million vehicles to correct sticking accelerator pedals, since the accelerator pedals stick even without a floor mat. Models affected included the RAV4 crossover (2009-2010), Corolla (2009-2010), Matrix (2009-2010), Avalon (2005-2010), Camry (2007-2010), Highlander (2010), Tundra (2007-2010) and Sequoia (2008-2010). Toyota has also decided to stop production in several plants for at least a week.

The recall actually began back in September when Toyota called back 3.8 million vehicles after a California crash killed a Highway Patrol officer and three members of his family. At the time it was thought that a rubber floor mat could have covered the accelerator pedal.

As a temporary measure, Toyota told their dealers to shorten the length of the gas pedal. Toyota is also developing replacement pedals for the affected vehicles, and these are expected to be available around April 2010. In addition, some vehicles will have a “smart brake,” installed to make sure the vehicle stops even if a driver presses the brake and the accelerator pedals at the same time.

If you are driving, and the accelerator pedal sticks remember that the vehicle can be controlled by firmly applying the brake. Do not pump the brake. You can also put the vehicle into neutral and shut off the engine. If you are a Toyota owner and you have questions, contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331.

As a Philadelphia Auto Accident Attorney, I am closely watching the recall proceedings. If a faulty accelerator pedal has affected you, give us a call to discuss your options.
