What is wrong
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES FITTED WITH SPEED CONTROL DEVICES AT GULF STATES TOYOTA'S VEHICLE PROCESSING CENTER OR INSTALLED BY CERTAIN TOYOTA DEALERS IN GULF STATES' REGION (ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, OKLAHOMA, AND TEXAS). THE E-CLIP WHICH HOLDS THE SPEED CONTROL ASSEMBLY TO THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE COULD BREAK. IF THE E-CLIP FAILS, THE SPEED CONTROL ATTACHMENT COULD COME OFF, CAUSING THE SPEED CONTROL TO STOP WORKING.
What can happen
THE LOOSE ATTACHMENT COULD CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK, PREVENTING NORMAL STOPPING AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
GULF STATES DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE E-CLIP WITH A COTTER PIN.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
