I heard that it had to do with the gas pedal catching on the floor mat. I don't know if there's any more to it though. The Prius has an issue with the brakes momentarily not working over bumps.

the recall has nothing to do with floor mats

that was toyota's shitty excuse before the recall

There was a recall for the floor mat issue. The accelerator problems is a separate one and doesn't include all of the vehicles from the previous recall.

^ So what's the cause for the latest accelerator problem? A throttle linkage design fail?

It's supposedly being blamed on the company that made the gas pedal assembly (CTS Corperation).

The company has not decided exactly what it will do after it gets past the recalls, which include more than 8 million vehicles worldwide, for sticky gas pedals, floor mats that can snag the accelerator and a software glitch in the brakes of its Prius gas-electric hybrid, said Group Vice President Bob Carter."
