IV Background

In 2006 through early 2007 model year GS 300 and GS 350 AWD vehicles in the event that the floor carpet around the accelerator pedal is not properly reinstalled in the correct position after a service operation there is a possibility that the plastic pad embedded into the floor carpet may interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal arm. If this occurs the accelerator pedal could temporarily become stuck in a partially depressed position rather than return to the idle position. An accelerator pedal temporarily stuck in a partially depressed position may increase the risk of a crash.
