WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The Obama administration is satisfied with a plan by Toyota Motor Corp. to address a massive recall by fixing or replacing defective accelerator pedals, the U.S. Transportation Department said today.


Quote from the article:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reviewed the automaker's plan to install new parts in existing accelerator systems or replace them entirely. Sales of new models on the list of 2.3 million vehicles recalled in January have been suspended until the remedy is in place. Toyota said it started shipping parts to dealers today. Production of new vehicles is set to resume Feb. 8. Owners who opt for a repair now at dealers may later receive a new pedal when it is available, NHTSA said in a consumer advisory. NHTSA is not required to approve Toyota's approach but can object if it does not believe the solution is adequate.
