Description: ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
Numbers: 6394
Defect:
It has been identified that within the mechanism of the accelerator pedal, there is a friction lever which interacts with a sliding surface. Over time and under certain conditions,the contact surfaces may generated excessive friction, and latterly, the movement of the accelerator pedal. This over time, and under certain conditions will result in the accelerator pedal becoming intermittently more difficult to push; or slower to return. In rare instances, the accelerator pedal can remain in the partially depressed position.
Action:
Recalled vehicles will have a reinforcing plate fitted within the accelerator pedal mechanism, which will ensure continued correct functionality.
Launch Date: 19 February 2010
理論上
台灣引進的車型應該不會再續用美國GTS製的油門踏板總成(已經勇敢買下去的車友可以趴下去看看油門踏板總成到底是誰做的?)
不過11月5日發生美國Utah的這件2008款CAMRY車禍中,TOYOTA的改正措施似乎是無效的
因為那部2008款CAMRY已經完成了召回,現場也有明顯的煞車痕,但完全無效
也就是說即使已經進行了零件修正,甚至不使用美國GTS製的油門踏板總成
使用TOYOTA控制系統架構的車款仍然有可能發生暴衝,而且煞車優先可能不在TOYOTA的系統架構之中????
即使它可能是掛PEUGEOT或CITROEN的品牌在販售也一樣????(趴下去看看油門踏板總成是誰做的,好像也無助解決這問題)
