NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 05V565000
Mfg's Report Date : DEC 16, 2005
Component: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL

Summary: On certain passenger vehicles, there is a possibility that the accelerator pedal may temporarily become stuck in the partially depressed position due to inadequate clearance between the accelerator pedal linkage and a plastic pad embedded into the vehicle's carpet.
Consequence: This condition may interfere with the accelerator pedal returning to the idle position, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will inspect the clearance of the acceleration pedal and carpet, replace the pedal assembly with a revised assembly, and modify the carpet free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in late December 2005. Owners may contact Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
