2006–2007 Lexus GS 350 & 2006–2007 Lexus GS300 recall: speed control
⚠️ What's wrong
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 lexus GS300 and GS350 all wheel drive (awd) vehicles. There is a possibility that the plastic pad embedded into the floor carpet may interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal.
💥 The risk
The accelerator pedal could temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than return to the idle position. A stuck accelerator pedal may result in unintended and sustained vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will modify the plastic pad on the floor carpet free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
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.)
