The short answer
NHTSA received SOUTHEAST TOYOTA DISTRIBUTORS’s report on Feb 12, 2007. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 20, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A CRASH COULD BE CAUSE IN THE EVENT THAT THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO RETURN TO IDLE ON THE FIRST DEPRESSION OF THE “ON/OFF” SWITCH.
CERTAIN ROSTRA PRECISION CONTROLS’ SPEED CONTROLS MAY HAVE A FAULTY MODULE.
THESE CONTROLS WERE INSTALLED BY SOUTHEAST TOYOTA DEALERS OR AT THEIR VEHICLE PROCESSING CENTER ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES.
WHEN THE SPEED CONTROL “ON/OFF” SWITCH IS PRESSED ONCE TO TURN THE UNIT OFF, THE THROTTLE DOES NOT RETURN TO IDLE.
WHEN THE “ON/OFF” SWITCH IS PRESSED A SECOND TIME, THE THROTTLE WILL RETURN TO IDLE.

What the record doesn’t say
- NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt.
- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
