Comparison between two Toyota petals involved. (The one on the right is the CTS pedal in question).

(MATTESTON, Ill. FEBRUARY 5, 2010) – Planet Toyota is in the process of repairing vehicles that are affected by the “sticky pedal” recall. Their technical staff is performing 40-50 repairs per day with the average repair time between 30 and 40 minutes.

The part used to fix the gas pedals is about the size of a postage stamp. The part is currently being inserted into the accelerator mechanism to eliminate the function that causes the problem.
