2006 recall questions

i got a letter in the mail couple weeks ago telling me there was a recall on my truck with the floor mats binding up under the gas petal. has anyone had this problem or can explain things. bought truck used and there were no mats in it, will toyota give me new ones or should i just buy my own... will it be a waste of time to drive 1 hr to dealership

 

I've got an 06 also, all that toyota did was cut 1/2" off the lower end of my gas pedal! the factory mats are held in place with plastic hooks and velcro. I've never had a problem with my pedal sticking even before I let Toyota cut my gas pedal

 

The recall is 2-stage and is a response to the "uncontrolled acceleration" issues of a few years ago.

#1 - They cut the bottom off of your gas pedal. Some dealerships do a decent job, others it's a hack job that looks like a 3 y/o did it. The dealer does have the option of replacing the pedal with a new unit that is properly molded to the new size.

#2 - They reflash the ECU. With the new programming, if the accelerator is depressed more than 25% or 35% and the brake is applied, the ECU shuts the engine down to idle.

They will not replace your missing floor mats.
