I love reading from the uniformed, first off this recall is not goverment mandated, this is brought to you from Toyota.
The part in question is from and American company. The governments both sides of our boarder (I am Canadian) cleared these vehicles free of defects this past fall, Toyota doesnt sit still on customer concerns and during furthur of their own testing found the piece made from the American company will wear out (like most things in life) and will slowly begin to fail. This is not what caused all the sudden acceleration issues the world has become scared of. Toyota has Japan made parts on their way to us in North America to replace the American pieces in their vehicles, the plants were shut down so parts can be made available to customers first and the plants after.
Hope this helps clear up this issue
