My Corolla was also recalled - code was a mess as with most embedded projects but no obvious bugs related to unintended acceleration - think the cases reported were less than a 300.

Never encountered the issue.

They replaced my floor mats and installed a new pedal assembly and updated to the ECU with "brake override" ability - meaning if I pressed the brake pedal it would ignore input from the throttle.



Yea many things point to it having been mass hysteria and people too stupid to shift their cars in neutral if the throttle really did fail.
