TOYOTA is actually replacing gas pedals with a shorter unit to prevent mats or anything else from being lodged underneath.....

Toyota (Lexus especially) has had so many recalls recently

I had to LOL when the news said it could take up to 10 months to get replacement pedals made. In the meantime you can go to the dealer and they can "modify" your current pedal. IMO it'd be easier to just take a saw to the bottom 2/3 of the pedal. Recall resolved
