"The first recall, 'Floor Mat Entrapment,' regards the potential for an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat to interfere with the accelerator pedal and cause it to get stuck in the wide-open position." (Toyota.com/recall)

The second recall, "Pedal," is being conducted because there is a possibility that certain accelerator pedal mechanisms may stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position.

If a car has the first recall (floor mat entrapment), Toyota says owners should take out the floor mat for the time being and once he or she is notified by Toyota, bring in the vehicle to be adjusted.

If a car is called in due to the second recall (pedal), owners should stop driving that vehicle immediately and once notified, bring the car into the dealership to be fixed.

If you are the owner of a recalled Toyota, or have any questions contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331.
