We'd like to call attention to a post on our Cars blog that affects 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus owners. Toyota is asking the owners of seven Lexus and Toyota models to remove factory driver-side floor mats to prevent potential throttle “entrapment” that can equate to uncontrolled acceleration.

The vehicles affected by the advisory include:

• 2005 - 2010 Toyota Avalon
• 2007 - 2010 Toyota Camry
• 2004 - 2009 Toyota Prius
• 2005 - 2010 Toyota Tacoma
• 2007 - 2010 Toyota Tundra
• 2007 - 2010 Lexus ES350
• 2006 - 2010 Lexus IS250 and IS350

Toyota is not calling the action a "recall" and is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on a solution. Read more on our Cars blog.
