As with the U.S. recall, exclusive Toyota-brand vehicles are affected, not Lexus (Scion isn't sold in Europe), as they ingest assorted pedal pedals. Unlike the U.S., though, Toyota will not halt production of its European vehicles because the company says it has already begun replacing the faulty pedals with new, redesigned units. Toyota says exclusive a restricted number of incidents of inadvertent acceleration have been reportable in aggregation and that none of them have resulted in a break as far as the company knows.
The stylish recall affects eight Toyota aggregation models, including the Avensis, Aygo, Corolla, iQ, Rav4, Verso and Yaris. The recall exclusive applies to those vehicles shapely between 2005 and January 2010 and all of the vehicles in question, except the Corolla, are shapely in aggregation or Turkey.
