On the heels of last week’s massive recall, Toyota<\/a> Motor Corporation announced a plan today to fix the faulty accelerator pedals on 2.3 million new vehicles.<\/p>\n

The Japanese-owned automaker has stopped production on new cars and will ship parts to U.S. dealers who have been trained to fix the defective gas pedals. Toyota has said that it will install a precision-cut reinforcement bar as part of the mechanism to make sure that pedals return to the idle position, USA Today reports.<\/p>\n

“Nothing is more important to us than the safety and reliability of the vehicles our customers drive,” said Jim Lentz, president of Toyota’s sales organization in the U.S. “We deeply regret the concern that our recalls have caused for our customers and we are doing everything we can – as fast as we can – to make things right.”<\/p>\n

Lents added that some dealerships will be open for 24 hours a day to fix the recalled vehicles. Repairs are expected to take approximately 30 minutes and Toyota has said that it will cover all costs associated with the parts and labor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
