Toyota Motor has recalled around 2.3 million vehicles in the United States to fix a problem with their accelerator pedals, the company's US division announced on Thursday.
The company said the recall was to correct accelerator pedals on specific Toyota models that could "in rare instances, mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position".
The action was separate to an ongoing recall of approximately 4.2 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles that was begun last year due to a risk that loose driver-side floor mats could slip forward and jam the pedals.
