Lexus Recalls 2006-2007 GS Models Due to Accelerator Pedal Interference
Toyota is recalling 2006-2007 Lexus GS300 and GS350 AWD vehicles because a floor carpet pad may interfere with the accelerator pedal, potentially causing it to stick.
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (accelerator pedal interference) that explicitly increases the risk of a crash, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.
Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2006 and 2007 Lexus GS300 and GS350 all-wheel drive (AWD) vehicles. The recall involves approximately 19,647 vehicles.
The defect involves a plastic pad embedded in the floor carpet that may interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal. This interference could cause the accelerator pedal to temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than returning to the idle position. A stuck accelerator pedal may result in unintended and sustained vehicle speeds, making it difficult to stop and increasing the risk of a crash.
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 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
