Toyota to recall another 1.1M vehicles
Toyota Motor Corp. told federal officials late Wednesday it was recalling another 1.1 million vehicles connected to pedal entrapment problems. The move significantly expands Toyota's largest recall ever and comes just one day after the Japanese automaker decided to stop selling eight models that account for 60 percent of its sales volume until it comes up with a fix.

| Toyota expanded its Nov. 25 recall of 4.26 million vehicles by 1.1 million as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was preparing to open an expanded investigation over issues of pedal entrapment. Toyota confirmed the decision late today after informing some members of Congress as well. The new vehicles being recalled under the November recall are: 2008-2010 Highlander; 2009-2010 Corolla; 2009-2010 Venza; 2009-2010 Matrix and 2009-2010 Pontiac Vibe, which was jointly engineered by Toyota and General Motors Co. Toyota disclosed the move in a two-page letter to NHTSA reviewed by The Detroit News. The increase means Toyota has recalled 5.35 million vehicles in the probe linked to pedal entrapment under floor mats. |
