Toyota discloses US findings on floor mats
By Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Toyota says its vehicles are not at risk of accelerating out of control unless the driver's side floor mat is incorrectly installed or is not meant for that vehicle.
The Japanese automaker says the finding is the result of a U.S. government investigation into the possibility of unintentional acceleration in some of its vehicles. In August, Toyota announced a recall of 3.8 million vehicles in the U.S., urging the owners of the recalled vehicles to remove their driver's side floor mat because of the risk they could jam the accelerator pedal. Toyota says the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has reviewed allegations of unintended acceleration in Toyota vehicles six times, clearing the automaker each time. |
