severe NHTSA 07E082000 September 26, 2007

Certain all weather floor mats (awfm) specifically sold as an optional accessory for use on the 2007 and 2008 model year Lexus es350 and Toyota camry vehicles

The accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position when returning to the idle position. If this condition occurs, it may increase the possibility of a crash.

Fix: Toyota will notify owners of all 2007 and 2008 Lexus es350 and Toyota camry vehicles about the recall even though not all of these owners will have purchased the all weather mats. If the owner had not purchased the mats, they are not affected by the recall. This letter will advise owners when replacement mats will be available or how to return the all weather floor mat set to obtain a refund. A second letter will be sent after mats are available requesting owners to return their mats to a Lexus or Toyota dealer for exchange of the driver's side mat. The first letter is expected to be sent during early october 2007 and the second in late november 2007. Owners can contact the Lexus customer assistance center at 1-800-255-3987 or the Toyota customer experience center at 1-888-270-9371.
