Toyota says it is recalling 367,500 Toyota and Lexus sport-utility vehicles in the United States because a trim piece could come loose and interfere with the gas pedal.
The recall involves 2004-05 Toyota Highlander, Lexus RX330 and early 2006 models of the Highlander hybrid SUV and the RX 400h. In total, the recall affects 232,000 gasoline-powered and 3,700 hybrid versions of the SUVs.
The problem that could occur is that a clip could come loose and allow a small trim piece of the console, located on the center-left side of the front compartment, to interfere with the accelerator.
The company says it has received seven complaints and two reports of accidents. No injuries have been reported.
Owners were expected to be notified of the recall in late July, and dealers will install new clips.
