Hello -

Ok, the pedal's made in Canada :

Toyota pedal supplier CTS says new parts on the way | freep.com | Detroit Free Press

The Japanese automaker has said the problem with accelerator pedals that could stick open as they aged was limited to a pedal mechanism supplied by CTS Corp., built in the supplier’s Canadian factory.

CTS said today the problem identified by Toyota had been reported "fewer than a dozen" times, and "in no instance did the accelerator actually become stuck in a partially depressed condition." It also said it was unaware of any accidents or injuries stemming from the flaw.

"The products we supply to Toyota, including the pedals covered by the recent recall, have been manufactured to Toyota’s design specifications," CTS said in a statement, adding it had worked with Toyota on a new pedal "to meet tougher specifications."
