Toyota USA recalls two million cars

Toyota USA has negotiated a voluntary recall on a range of vehicles built since 2006.

... as Toyota sweeps up the dregs from its 'unintended acceleration' crisis.

The action comes after a Federal investigation revealed the major source of trouble was incorrect and faulty floor mats, which had the potential to trap the vehicle's accelerator pedal.

Toyota USA has now negotiated a voluntary recall on a range of vehicles built since 2006, including the Lexus GS, RX and LX, as well as the Toyota RAV4 and 4Runner.

The total number of vehicles involved is just over 2.1 million, with most to get modified or replacement mats and retention clips.

But there will be no impact in Australia, which has a different right- hand drive pedal layout and different floor mats.

"There is no impact here. No cars in Australia are affected," a Toyota spokesman said yesterday.
