News Toyota did a recall in the United States horrendous automotive world. Because the number of vehicles which must accept the recall reaches millions of units. According to Toyota, the number reached 2.3 million units.

However, with Toyota's action to delay some of its new product, the effect of the news that continues to blow like a balloon. Finally, according to CNN, quoted by many news agencies and the international media, Toyota's global recall could reach 5.3 million units. Last Thursday it was reported that in China, Toyota also attract 75,500 SUV. The problem, the accelerator can not go back to its original position (stationary).

Gas pedal "stuck"
Gas pedal or the accelerator is not much ogled the car owners because they have to bend down to see it. In fact, this is the vehicle most often touched during the car to slide. Pedal gaslah decisive drove fast or slow.

In today's car, the gas pedal no longer use the link in the form of a large cable to the "throttle body" or the gas valve in the engine. With the system drive by wire (DBW), pedals equipped with electric wires connected to the computer machine. Next komputerlah that regulate or control the "throttle body" which is driven by stepper motors.

To give a "flavor" to the driver when the gas pedal a plus for the gas can move more evenly when it was released, then the mechanisms given anchoring or friction drive, similar to a brake job. Hence, there is a mention of this section by the term "shoe string".

Well, the car pulled by Toyota, the component that secures the bow or the gas pedal that is regarded as the source of the problem. In part or condition, retaining and pedal mechanism are too tight. As a result, the accelerator can not go back to its original position.

If you have this, the driver must use the brakes which also resulted in faster brake wear and of course more dangerous.

In this recall campaign, Toyota also told emergency action when the gas pedal about. They suggest to use the brakes, but should not be shaken. Because the vacuum assist is not working.

Various factors
Conclusions concerning Toyota to pedal also unclear. Alleged while, it happen because of the material resisting, wear and tear, and environmental conditions. This is understandable because the problem occurred after the car is used for some time and not in new condition.

Actions taken today are Toyota, any vehicle drawn, replaced the gas pedal mechanism. In the new accelerator added reinforcement using steel pieces inserted between the accelerator and the retaining mechanism. In this way, engineers from Toyota said that the friction drag can be reduced. Gas pedal can return to its initial position smoothly.
