Sounds like they're putting the entire blame on the pedal mechanism.
EDIT: Yep, they are. Here's another link.

The automaker blamed the problem on condensation in the pedal assembly, which includes the pedal, a curved arm that goes into the engine compartment, and springs that send the pedal back to its resting position when the driver eases up on the gas.
The condensation creates friction that can cause a delayed return of the pedal or, in rare cases, sticking, Lyons said.
Toyota said that not all of the models listed in the recall have the faulty gas pedals, which were made by CTS Corp. of Elkhart, Ind.
