Toyota issued a recall covering 2.3 million late model cars, SUVs and pickup trucks last week, broadening its largest such action ever and acknowledging that potential accelerator pedal problems were deeper than previously acknowledged. The automaker previously recalled about 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles to reduce the risk of pedal "entrapment" caused by floor mats, according to a news release issued by Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A., about 1.7 million Toyota vehicles are subject to both recalls. In "rare instances," the accelerator pedal may stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position. Toyota previously had maintained there was no evidence of a mechanical fault linked to reported bursts of unintended acceleration that prompted the original recall last year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had received reports of 100 incidents at the time of Toyota's first recall. Those reports included 17 crashes and five fatalities possibly linked to floor mats and accelerator pedals in Toyota cars and trucks. One of those crashes involved a Lexus that accelerated to more than 120 mph before crashing in San Diego, killing four people. The safety stumbles have dinged Toyota's reputation in the U.S. as a builder of dependable, high-quality cars. Last year's recall was the sixth-largest ever in the United States.
