Southeast Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008 and 2010-2013 Toyota Tundra, 2010-2012 Rav4, 2012 Toyota Sequoia, 2010-2011 Toyota Corolla, 2010-2011 Toyota Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2010-2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 2011 Toyota Land Cruiser, 2010-2013 Toyota Venza, 2010-2011 Toyota 4Runner, 2010-2013 Toyota Tacoma, 2011-2012 Toyota Sienna, 2012 Toyota Prius, 2013 Scion FR-S, 2011 Scion XD, 2011 Scion XB, and 2012 Scion TC vehicles.

Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

DUE TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THE FRICTION LEVER INTERACTS WITH THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL INSIDE THE PEDAL SENSOR ASSEMBLY, THE SLIDING SURFACE OF THE LEVER MAY BECOME SMOOTH DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. IN THIS CONDITION, IF CONDENSATION OCCURS ON THE SURFACE, AS MAY OCCUR FROM HEATER OPERATION (WITHOUT A/C) WHEN THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS COLD, THE FRICTION WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS OPERATED MAY INCREASE, WHICH MAY RESULT IN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECOMING HARDER TO DEPRESS, SLOWER TO RETURN, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION.
THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY BECOME HARD TO DEPRESS, SLOW TO RETURN TO IDLE, OR, IN THE WORST CASE, MECHANICALLY STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

A STUCK OPEN ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY RESULT IN VERY HIGH VEHICLE SPEEDS AND MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE, WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH, SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
TOYOTA FILED AN AMENDED DEFECT REPORT ON NOVEMBER 25, 2009, STATING THAT DEALERS WILL MODIFY THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND, ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, ALTER THE SHAPE OF THE FLOOR SURFACE UNDER THE PEDAL. THESE CHANGES ADDRESS THE RISK OF PEDAL ENTRAPMENT DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE FLOOR MAT. REDESIGNED ACCELERATOR PEDALS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE BEGINNING IN APRIL 2010 AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY MODIFIED PEDAL WITH THE NEW PEDAL IF DESIRED. ALSO, DEALERS WILL REPLACE ANY GENUINE TOYOTA OR LEXUS ALL-WEATHER FLOOR MATS WITH REDESIGNED ALL-WEATHER MATS, OR REPURCHASE THE PREVIOUS MATS FROM OWNERS WHO DO NOT WANT THE NEW ONES.

ON FRIDAY, 25 MARCH, 2011 AT ABOUT 4 PM, MY WIFE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN DECELERATION EVENT ON OUR 2010 TOYOTA CAMRY. SHE MADE A RIGHT TURN & IN ABOUT A HALF MILE, THE CAMRY SUDDENLY SLOWED TO LESS THAN 10 MPH FROM ABOUT 40 MPH. SHE PULLED INTO THE FIRST PARKING LOT TO THE RIGHT AND SHUT OFF THE CAMRY. SHE SAID NO MATTER HOW MUCH SHE PRESSED ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONDING TO THE ACCELERATOR. SHE SAID THE CHECK ENGINE AND THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS WERE ON. SHE TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND DROVE A LITTLE IN THE PARKING LOT, THE 2 DASH LIGHTS WERE ON, BUT IT WAS DRIVING OK. SHE DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY APPROXIMATELY 5 MORE MILES TO OUR HOME. I ARRIVED SOON & I CHECKED THE CODES WITH MY DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, AND THE ECU WAS SHOWING AN ACTIVE P0121 (THROTTLE/PEDAL POSITION SENSOR A, CIRCUIT RANGE PERFORMANCE). SO WE DROVE THE CAR SLOWLY TO ATLANTA TOYOTA, 2345 PLEASANT HILL ROAD, DULUTH, GA 30096. DURING THE DRIVE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE DASH LIGHTS WENT OFF. I REPORTED THE CODE P0121 TO THE SERVICE REP, AND THE DRIVING SYMPTOMS. THE NEXT DAY (SATURDAY, 26 MARCH 2011) ATLANTA TOYOTA CALLED ME REPORTING THAT THERE WERE NO CODES IN THE ECU. I REPEATED THE CODE THAT I HAD READ. THE REP STATED THEY WOULD CHECK AGAIN. AGAIN ATLANTA TOYOTA CALLED ME, STATING NO CODES FOUND, AND THEY HAD TEST DRIVEN THE CAR AND COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY DID REPLACE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY. ON THE DRIVE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE CLOCK TIME HAD CHANGED ABOUT 30 MINUTES, AND ALL THE RADIO PRESETS WERE GONE, AS IF THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED.I INQUIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP REP SAID THE BATTERY HAD NOT BEEN TOUCHED.MY CONCERN IS THIS TOYOTA MAY HAVE REPROGRAMMED MY CAR DUE TO THE SUDDEN DECELERATION ISSUE, (HENCE THE CLOCK & RADIO CHANGES), AND THEY ARE NOT BEING FORTHCOMING REGARDING REPAIRS. ALL THEY WILL SAY IS, THERE WERE NO CODES.
