Toyota announces gas pedal fix By Ben Rooney, staff reporter February 1, 2010: 7:34 AM ET
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Toyota said Monday it has developed a fix for gas pedals in millions of recalled vehicles and is already shipping the new parts to dealers.
The fix involves reinforcing the pedal assembly in a way that eliminates the excess friction that has caused the pedals to stick, the company said in a press release. Toyota recalled 2.3 million vehicles in the United States for this problem.
