The recall is the second having to do with concerns that accelerator pedals could become lodged under floor mats and cause sudden acceleration. The problem was cited as the source of several crashes, most famously the Lexus that accelerated to over 120 mph before crashing in San Diego, killing four people.
Toyota clarified that the most recall related to potential problems with the actual gas pedal mechanism, which might cause the accelerator to become stuck regardless of the floor mat.
