TORRANCE, Calif. -- Toyota Motor Sales (TMS) U.S.A. says it has received verifiable information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about Toyota vehicles that have experienced unintended acceleration after receiving the accelerator pedal recall remedies. The automaker said that as soon as it received the vehicle owner information from NHTSA, it moved quickly to evaluate the vehicles and interview the owners.

The results of the evaluations have been submitted to NHTSA for review. According to Toyota, the evaluations have found no evidence of a failure of the vehicle electronic throttle control system, the recent recall remedies or the brake override feature.

It is important to note, said the automaker, that many complaints submitted to NHTSA either are unverifiable or lack the vehicle owner information required to facilitate follow-up.
