2000 Gulf Toyota Camry & 2000 Gulf Toyota Corolla + 2 more recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles fitted with speed control devices at gulf states toyota's vehicle processing center or installed by certain toyota dealers in gulf states' region (arkansas, louisiana, mississippi, oklahoma, and texas). The e-clip which holds the speed control assembly to the accelerator linkage could break. If the e-clip fails, the speed control attachment could come off, causing the speed control to stop working.
💥 The risk
The loose attachment could cause the accelerator to stick, preventing normal stopping and handling of the vehicle.
🔧 The fix
Gulf states dealers will replace the e-clip with a cotter pin.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
