• VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL Recall for 2006 Toyota Highlander

  • Recall Announced FEBRUARY 24 2011
  • NHTSA Reference #11V112000
  • Number Affected 769,379

  Summary: Toyota is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 Highlander, Highlander hybrid, and model year 2004-2007 Lexus RX330, RX350, and rx400H vehicles. If the forward retention clip used to secure the floor carpet cover, which is located in front of the center console, is not installed properly the cover may lean toward the accelerator pedal and interfere with the accelerator pedal arm.

  Consequence: If this occurs, the accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than return to the idle position. A stuck accelerator pedal may result in unintended and sustained vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

  Fix: Dealers will replace the floor carpet cover with a newly designed one free or charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during March 2011. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
