Recently, Toyota announced two safety recalls that cover some of its models. Both recall campaigns address conditions related to the accelerator pedal. The first recall, “Floor Mat Entrapment,” regards the potential for an unsecured or incompatible driver’s floor mat to interfere with the accelerator pedal and cause it to get stuck in the wide-open position.

The second recall, “Pedal,” is being conducted because there is a possibility that certain accelerator pedal mechanisms may mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position.

The following vehicles have been recalled:

2005-2010 Avalon

2007-2010 Camry

2009-2010 Corolla

2008-2010 Highlander

2009-2010 Matrix

2004-2009 Prius

2009-2010 RAV4

2008-2010 Sequoia

2005-2010 Tacoma

2007-2010 Tundra

2009-2010 VENZA
