Toyota Files Voluntary Safety Recall on Select Toyota Division Vehicles for Sticking Accelerator Pedal ? Lexus and Scion Models Not Affected

? Filing Addresses Isolated Customer Complaints ? Separate From On-Going Recall Involving Floor Mat Pedal Entrapment Issue TORRANCE, Calif.,

January 21, 2010 -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc, today announced it would recall approximately 2.3 million vehicles to correct

sticking accelerator pedals on specific Toyota Division models. This action is separate from the on-going recall of approximately 4.2 million

Toyota and Lexus vehicles to reduce the risk of pedal entrapment by incorrect or out of place accessory floor mats. Approximately 1.7 million

Toyota Division vehicles are subject to both separate recall actions.?

In recent months, Toyota has investigated isolated reports of sticking accelerator pedal mechanisms in certain vehicles without the presence

of floor mats,? said TMS Group Vice President Irv Miller. ?Our investigation indicates that there is a possibility that certain accelerator

pedal mechanisms may, in rare instances, mechanically stick in a partially depressed position or return slowly to the idle position.

Consistent with our commitment to the safety of our cars and our customers, we have initiated this voluntary recall action.? Toyota?s

accelerator pedal recall is confined to the following Toyota Division vehicles: ? 2009-2010 RAV4, ? 2009-2010 Corolla, ? 2009-2010 Matrix, ?

2005-2010 Avalon, ? 2007-2010 Camry, ? 2010 Highlander, ? 2007-2010 Tundra, ? 2008-2010 Sequoia No Lexus Division or Scion vehicles are

affected by this recall action. Also not affected are Toyota Prius, Tacoma, Sienna, Venza, Solara, Yaris, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser

and select Camry models, including all Camry hybrids. The condition is rare, but can occur when the pedal mechanism becomes worn and, in

certain conditions, the accelerator pedal may become harder to depress, slower to return or, in the worst case, stuck in a partially

depressed position.

Toyota is working quickly to prepare the correction remedy. In the event that a driver experiences an accelerator pedal that sticks in a

partial open throttle position or returns slowly to idle position, the vehicle can be controlled with firm and steady application of the

brakes. The brakes should not be pumped repeatedly because it could deplete vacuum assist, requiring stronger brake pedal pressure. The

vehicle should be driven to the nearest safe location, the engine shut off and a Toyota dealer contacted for assistance. Toyota will continue

to investigate incidents of unwanted acceleration and take appropriate measures to address any trends that are identified.

Toyota owners who have questions or concerns should contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331. ### Frequently Asked
