	Comment:	Here's the latest from Toyota's site, gentlemen start making your appointments "Toyota's solution for current owners is simple, effective and quick to deploy. A precision-cut steel reinforcement bar will be installed into the assembly that will reduce the surface tension between the friction shoe and the adjoining surface. With this reinforcement in place, the excess friction that can cause the pedal to stick is eliminated. The company has confirmed the effectiveness of the newly modified pedals that had previously shown a tendency to stick"

	Comment:	With Toyota only giving dealers 10 shims per day (after the initial delivery to cover instock vehicles) it is going to take a very long time to get the vehicle recall completed.
