Update

Yesterday we posted a copy of the Toyota press release regarding the stop sale and delivery announcement. Attached is the TMS Dealership notification letter that provides greater detail on specifically which vehicles cannot be delivered until they have been remedied.



To be clear, North American vehicles equipped with accelerator pedals manufactured by CTS are the only vehicles included in the stop sale and delivery.



All vehicles equipped with Denso produced gas pedal assemblies can be sold regardless of where they were produced.



It is important to note that the North American Camry is the only series that was produced with both CTS and Denso accelerator pedals and therefore needs to be inspected to determine if they are equipped with Denso pedals prior to being sold.



Below is a list of new vehicles that are unaffected by the announcement and can be sold:



a.. Yaris
b.. Prius
c.. Japan built Corolla
d.. Japan built Camry
e.. Camry with VINs that begin with "4T1" AND are equipped with Denso accelerator pedals
f.. Scion
g.. Venza
h.. FJ Cruiser
i.. Japan built Highlander
j.. Japan built RAV4
k.. Land Cruiser
l.. Sienna
m.. 4Runner
n.. Tacoma

Determining whether the Camry is equipped with a CTS or Denso accelerator pedal can be done with a visual inspection without removing the pedal. Denso pedals are constructed of all black plastic versus the CTS pedal which is made of metal. The CTS pedals have shiny metallic components on both sides at the top of the arm which are clearly visible from the footwell.

At this time , this is all we know from Southeastern Toyota. We will continue to update you as we receive more information.
