The automaker said Wednesday it would have new gas pedals designed and ready for installation by April, WKOWTV.com, Madison, Wis., reported
The recall is the second major recall of the week for Toyota, which recalled 110,000 Tundra pick up trucks due to a problem with underbody rust that can weaken support for the spare tire mounted under the truck body. Excessive rust could cause the spare tire to tumble to the road while driving, the National Highway Safety Administration said Tuesday.
The new recall involves Toyota Camry and Prius.
Until new pedals are available, Toyota said it would have dealers shorten the length of the pedals in vehicles, starting in January.
