Toyota says cases of sticking gas pedals are rare.
The company which makes the pedals, C-T-S Corp. also announced on Thursday it was ramping up production to meet the replacement demand.
Toyota’s accelerator pedal recall includes the following Toyota Division vehicles:
2009-2010 RAV4
2009-2010 Corolla
2009-2010 Matrix
2005-2010 Avalon
Certain 2007-2010 Camry’s
2010 Highlander
2007-2010 Tundra
2008-2010 Sequoia
Toyota has halted production and sales of the models affected. It expects to announce next week whether vehicles already on the road will have the systems repaired or replaced.
