Just one year after Toyota recalled over 2 million vehicles for gas pedal issues resulting in involuntary acceleration, the company is recalling another 2.17 million vehicles due to gas pedals sticking in floor mats or driver's side carpeting.
The models recalled include the Lexus GS, Lexus RX, Toyota Highlander, Toyota 4Runner, Lexus LX and Toyota RAV4. For more details about the recall, visit this report on cnn.com.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) urged Toyota to issue its latest recall following a lengthy investigation. Since 2009, Toyota has recalled over 14 million vehicles worldwide to repair gas pedals and other safety issues. Several wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits have been filed against Toyota because of gas pedal issues resulting in injuries. One lawsuit involves a Houston man who sued Toyota after his wife was killed in a 2009 car accident.
