(The Providence Journal)

The Providence Journal of Rhode Island filmed a service director at a Toyota dealership fixing an accelerator pedal. If you own one of the recalled models, Consumer Reports’ Cars blog recommends that you learn the warning signs of pedal trouble and get to a dealership as soon as possible if you notice any of them.

“At Toyota in Warwick, the fix is in and it’s not that hard” [projo.com] (Thanks to ElizabethD!)
