TOYOTA WILLINGLY PSEUDO-RECALLS '04 SIENNA

Had I known that poor carpeting was valid reason for NHTSA issuing a Recall notice, I'd have reported issues in my first apartment. That stuff was nasty.


See, Toyota is willingly "conducting a safety improvement campaign" free of charge without the actual Recall banter being thrown around the internet. If you're the owner of a MY2004 Toyota Sienna, you may have noticed that the floor carpet cover can interfere with the operation of the accelerator pedal if said pedal is depressed 84% or more. Now, one assumes you hadn't measured the percentage, but the problem irked you, no doubt.

Without NHTSA's mandate but with NHTSA's broadcasting help, Toyota will be issuing this semi-pseudo Recall and will replace that carpet and retention clip free of charge. How kind. Toyota and NHTSA figure that's about 26,501 Siennas.
