Toyota Recall Models: Toyota Recall List: Toyota Corolla Recall – Toyota’s difficulties related to the unintended acceleration issue appear to be worsening, as the automaker has announced suspended sales of eight models in the U.S. market. As of January 27, the Toyota recall list has been updated to include suspended sales of Camry (excluding hybrid versions), Avalon, Tundra, Sequoia, RAV4, Corolla, Highlander (excluding hybrid versions) and Matrix models. The move has also forced a temporary production halt at plants in Indiana, Texas, Kentucky and Canada.

Toyota has announced that it will halt sales of eight models due to its ongoing problems with unintended acceleration. At issue are accelerator pedal mechanisms that could get stuck in the open position due to wear, causing the vehicle to accelerate uncontrollably. Earlier this month, Toyota announced a recall of 2.3 million vehicles with the possible defect.

As the Toyota Camry remains the best selling car in America, the sales suspension is expected to have a noticeable impact on Toyota’s dealer network, already reeling from a sluggish economy and tightening credit requirements. Prior to this latest setback, Toyota had announced aggressive leasing options and cash back programs in an effort to get customers into showrooms.

So far, Toyota is standing pat, saying it’s just fine to keep driving your Toyota — even if under recall — as long as it’s not experiencing telltale signs that it could be susceptible to a sticking accelerator. Of course, just a couple days ago Toyota was insisting that it was just fine to sell new cars that were subject to a recall. Look how fast that message changed:

“As part of the recall, we are obliged to suspend sales until there is a remedy…but the advice for customers remains the same,” Toyota spokesman Mike Michels tells Drive On. While Toyota’s recall was voluntary, Toyota says it’s following government protocols that require it to stop selling cars unless it has an immediate remedy, and it doesn’t. It can fix the part that can wear and cause unintended acceleration in all the cars right away.

The following eight models are included in the sales suspension (you can see them all in the gallery below):

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