You're making the mistake of being rational.

Here's all models affected:

The problem centers on accelerator mechanisms which might "on rare occasions" get stuck in a depressed position or be slow to return when released. This latest recall affects the following vehicles:

- 2009-2010 RAV4
- 2009-2010 Corolla
- 2009-2010 Matrix
- 2005-2010 Avalon
- 2007-2010 Camry
- 2010 Highlander
- 2007-2010 Tundra
- 2008-2010 Sequoia

Currently, there's no fix for the problem, other than to slam on the brakes until you can safely turn off the car and hope you don't have a rogue floor mats getting in the way.
