Every Toyota Aygo recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.

Defect: A component of the steering column may not be to specification and could fail. If this occurs there would be a loss of directional control.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL MAY FAIL TO RETURN TO IDLE
R/2010/010, launched 6 February 2010, 174,426 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Auris, Avensis, RAV4, Verso, Yaris, iQ
Defect: It has been identified that on affected vehicles condensation resulting from cold-weather use of the heater or other causes may form on the worn surface of a component within the throttle pedal assembly known as the friction device. If this occurs there is a possibility that in the worst case the accelerator pedal may return slowly or does not return to the engine idle position.
Remedy: Recalled vehicles will have a precision-cut steel reinforcing bar fitted into the accelerator pedal assembly which will create a space in order to reduce the surface tension between the friction device and a component referred to as the pedal arm. The subject bar also strengthens the reaction force of the spring that returns the accelerator pedal to it's non-pressed position.

What to do next
If you own a Toyota Aygo, check its registration on GOV.UK and ask a Toyota dealer whether any recall work is outstanding. If you are buying one, ask the seller for proof the work was done, and run a Motoring Insider history check for finance, write-offs and the MOT history.
