• VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL Recall for 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX

  • Recall Announced JANUARY 21 2010
  • NHTSA Reference #10V017000
  • Number Affected 2,230,661

  Summary: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2005-2010 avalon, model year 2007-2010 Camry, model year 2009-2010 corolla, Corolla matrix, rav4, model year 2010 highlander, model year 2008-2010 sequoia, and model year 2007-2010 Tundra vehicles. Due to the manner in which the friction lever interacts with the sliding surface of the accelerator pedal inside the pedal sensor assembly, the sliding surface of the lever may become smooth during vehicle operation. In this condition, if condensation occurs on the surface, as may occur from heater operation (without a/C) when the pedal assembly is cold, the friction when the accelerator pedal is operated may increase, which may result in the accelerator pedal becoming harder to depress, slower to return, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position.

  Consequence: The accelerator pedal may become hard to depress, slow to return to idle, or, in the worst case, mechanically stuck in a partially depressed position, increasing the risk of a crash.

  Fix: Dealers will install a reinforcement bar in the accelerator pedal which will allow the pedal to operate smoothly. GM will notify owners for the Pontiac vibe please see 10V-018. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on February 5, 2010 and will be completed on March 15, 2010. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

• SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM Recall for 2010 TOYOTA COROLLA MATRIX

  • Recall Announced AUGUST 27 2009
  • NHTSA Reference #09V338000
  • Number Affected 95,705

  Summary: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 scion xd and MY 2009-2010 corolla, and Corolla matrix vehicles equipped with 1.8L engine and originally sold in or currently registered in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. When driving under certain unique conditions in extremely low ambient temperatures, the intake manifold suction port for the brake vacuum can become blocked due to the freezing of condensation resulting from positive crankcase ventilation.

  Consequence: This could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance and a crash could occur.

  Fix: Dealers will install a newly designed intake air connector which will relocate the brake system vacuum port. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2009. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
