    So, it's an american suppliers fault?
    if true, that REALLY throws a wrench at the Flagwaivers' happy dance in the Blog. I wonder what Speeedzter woudl hve to say about that? What's the JPC rating on that pedal?

    ROFL

        A little googling clears this up. Sort of. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/...n6150882.shtml


        Cliff's notes: The company that supplied the pedals to Toyota is based in Elkhart, IN but the factory they own that manufactured them is based in Missisauga, Ontario, Canada.

        Some interesting stuff in there. The pedal was built to Toyota design specs, but is also used in many Pontiac Vibe cars. 99,000 Pontiac Vibe's have been recalled as well. Interesting.

          well it wont hurt pontiac rep.. as they're already dead..
          and ,the reports are that cars in china and japan are having the same issue,
          and I could be way off base, but I highly doubt those cars saw parts made in canada.. when the cars are made in japan for the homeland and export to china

            Article says they make ALL the pedals for Toyota, and only one particular design is at fault. The Elkhart company has facilities in China as well. Reading is indeed fundamental! Ford has vehicles with the exact same model of pedal too, but hasn't yet commented on a recall or not.

            Very interesting.
