Daytona Toyota Blog

We wanted you to know that Toyota will announce today that it has developed a comprehensive plan to fix the sticking accelerator pedals on recalled Toyota Division vehicles, and we can begin fixing accelerator pedals this week.

Daytona Toyota will make an all-out effort to complete the recall campaign as quickly and conveniently for our customers as we can.

We are confident the fix will eliminate the excess friction that, in rare instances, has caused the pedals to stick, and it will enable us to address your concerns about this issue. Toyota also hopes to resume production of these models shortly.

Today’s announcement will be distributed to the news media at 6:30 a.m. Eastern time, shortly before Toyota Motor Sales President and COO Jim Lentz is scheduled to appear on a number of news programs, including NBC-TV’s “The Today Show.” Also, as you may have seen, the company has begun a related advertising campaign as well as stepped up communications with customers, dealers and others.
