Toyota Canada Inc. Safety Statement

Toyota takes public safety very seriously.  It believes its vehicles to be among the safest on the road today. 
 
Recent events have prompted Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc to take a closer look at the potential for an accelerator pedal to get stuck in the full open position due to an unsecured or incompatible driver's floor mat.  A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.
Toyota considers this a critical matter and will soon launch a US safety campaign on specific Toyota and Lexus vehicles.  Throughout the process of developing the details of the action plan, it will advise the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). 
 
Until Toyota develops a remedy, Toyota Canada joins our US colleagues in asking owners of specific Toyota and Lexus models to take out any removable driver’s floor mat and NOT replace it with any other floor mat. 
 
 The following models are affected:
  • 2007 – 2010 Camry
  • 2005 – 2010 Avalon
  • 2004 – 2009 Prius
  • 2005 – 2010 Tacoma
  • 2007 – 2010 Tundra
  • 2007 – 2010 ES350
  • 2006 – 2010 IS Series
