This latest extension adds a million vehicles to the queue to have their accelerator pedals modified or replaced to reduce the risk of floor mat entrapment. For some models, Toyota may also modify the floor surface. For now, dealers have been instructed on how to reshape the pedal. Once replacement parts become available, dealers will be able to replace the modified original pedal with a new one. 

In addition, any existing Toyota all-weather floor mat with the recalled models can be replaced with a new mat with an updated design.

For more information on the Toyota recalls, see our unintended acceleration guide.
