Toyota recalls over 2 meg vehicles.

Toyota is recalling 2.17 meg vehicles to address problems that can cause explosive acceleration.  As you know, Toyota has been under scrutiny for speed problems that have caused numerous injuries and deaths since Fall 2009.  This collection of recalls comes in addition to earlier recalls for similar issues, the LA Times reports.

Already Toyota has recalled a total of 14 meg vehicles to “address a series of country and quality issues,” the eld for sudden-acceleration-related flaws.  The maker was inspected by both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and NASA for problems related to explosive acceleration, and though it was “determined that an electronic cause for explosive speed could not be found,” problems with tone trouble are real.  It was shown that the appearance and functionality of interior panels and carpeting can interfere with the gun pedal, causing it to stick.

The Toyota models currently existence recalled are:

The 4Runner, Rav4 and Lexus LX, model years ranging from 2004 finished 2011, depending on the vehicle.  For more information, meet Toyota’s recall place and/or call your topical Toyota dealer.
