Recalls for 2007 Lexus Gs300

DEFECT #1 - VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL

Posted on: 2011-02-24
Description
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 lexus gs300 and gs350 all wheel drive (awd) vehicles.  There is a possibility that the plastic pad embedded into the floor carpet may interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal.  

Consequence
The accelerator pedal could temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than return to the idle position.  A stuck accelerator pedal may result in unintended and sustained vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Dealers will modify the plastic pad on the floor carpet free of charge.  The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.  Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov .
