Toyota Other Recall #2009020

On certain vehicles, if the retention clip used to secure the center console trim panel was not reinstalled following a service repair, the trim piece could interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal.

If this occurs, the accelerator pedal may become stuck at nearly full throttle, which could result in a loss of vehicle control causing property damage, personal injury or death.

Note: As this problem result from a servicing issue, it is being handled as a safety improvement campaign instead of a Notice of Defect as prescribed by the Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

Correction: Dealers will replace the center console trim panel with an updated version which will minimize the risk of interference with the accelerator pedal in the event the retention clip is missing for any reason.
