September 26, 2007, Torrance CA -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., will launch a Safety Recall with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The campaign involves approximately 30,500 2007 and early 2008 Lexus ES 350 and 24,500 2007 and early 2008 Toyota Camry optional All Weather Floor Mats, constructed from heavy duty rubber, specifically designed for the driver's seating position in the U.S. market.

If the optional Lexus ES 350 or Toyota Camry All Weather Floor Mat (either by itself or if it is placed on top of the existing carpeted floor mat) on certain 2007 and early 2008 model year vehicles is not secured by the retaining hooks and the mat moves forward, it may interfere with the accelerator pedal returning to the idle position.
