    Toyota expands accelerator recall overseas

    Consumer Reports News: January 28, 2010 01:26 PM

    If you drive a Toyota and are feeling put out by the recent recalls for potential floor mat entrapment or sticky gas pedals, at least you can take comfort that you're not alone. The company has just added two million more vehicles in China and Europe to the latter recall.

    The company found vehicles in those regions also had throttle pedals produced by the same Indiana-based supplier, CTS, that built the pedal mechanisms in the 2.3 million American cars that were recalled. In a released statement, CTS said, "The products we supply to Toyota, including the pedals covered by the recent recall, have been manufactured to Toyota's design specifications."

    The international recall affects about 75,000 RAV4s sold in China and an undetermined number of vehicles in Europe, according to European news reports.
