Not sure where to put this ::: Just a heads up
Toyota GB has informed the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) of the precise list of cars directly affected by the accelerator pedal safety recall.
A total of 180,865 vehicles are included, the owners of which Toyota and the DVLA will contact directly to arrange a repair.
The recalled models are from seven of Toyota's line-ups:
- iQ
- Aygo
- Yaris
- Auris
- Corolla
- Avensis
- Verso
However, it has been confirmed that Aygos fitted with a manual gearbox are not affected. Neither is the RAV4 SUV, the Prius or any other Toyota or Lexus model.
Toyota has confirmed that its engineers have already developed a robust solution to the sticking accelerator pedal issue. Parts to effect the repair will arrive in the UK next week, with the first fixes due to take place on February 10.
All modifications will be carried out by Toyota technicians at approved service centres. It is estimated that each car will take just 30 minutes to fix.
"The safety of our customers is our top priority. We appreciate their concerns and are doing everything we can to deliver a speedy and thorough solution to the issue with the minimum inconvenience," said Miguel Fonseca, Managing Director of Toyota GB.
Toyota Customer Relations can be contacted in the UK on 0800 1388 744, while the company has also set up a website to deal with the influx of inquiries: Accelerator Pedal Recall.
