The safety of our consumers is of utmost importance to us here at Toyota. As such, we urge all owners of eight Toyota and Lexus models to take immediate action and remove the drivers side floor mats. We have recently received reports of unintended acceleration incidents that have been connected to the improper installation or use of the floor mats.
We understand that this is a significant inconvenience for our valued customers, but we cannot stress enough the importance of taking this precautionary measure to ensure your safety and that of others on the road. The affected models include the 2007-2010 Camry, 2005-2010 Avalon, 2004-2009 Prius, 2005-2010 Tacoma, 2007-2010 Tundra, 2007-2010 ES 350, 2006-2010 IS 250, and 2006-2010 IS 350.
It is particularly important to note that removing the drivers side floor mat is not a substitute for the recall remedy. We are working diligently to develop a permanent solution to prevent unintended acceleration due to floor mat entrapment. In the meantime, we ask that you remove the drivers side floor mat immediately and do not replace it with any other mat, including those obtained from a Toyota dealer. Instead, please wait for further instruction from Toyota or Lexus as to when a suitable replacement mat will be available.
It is also important to note that this is an urgent matter and requires immediate action. Please take a few moments to check your vehicle to ensure that the drivers side floor mat has been removed. If you are unsure whether your vehicle is affected, you can contact your local Toyota or Lexus dealer or visit our website for more information.
At Toyota, we are committed to the safety and wellbeing of our customers. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns. We appreciate your continued loyalty and trust in our brand.
Thank you for taking this matter seriously and choosing Toyota for your automotive needs.
