I talked with buddy of mine that is in the know. He is the a VP and has a lot of mech. background at the largest family owned dealer network in the US about 80 dealers. Can`t give his name for privaticy resaons....but he described to me the problem and the fix....we know the problem. The fix is a very small shim they are installing in the pedal assy. to allow a better return. He said it has not been a big deal and that most people are handling it well. One thing that surprised me is that Toyota is going to change their software to be more like BMW in that when you depress the brake it retards engine rpm....It does not do that now, I did not know that bmw did this either. Its hard to stop a car under power. He is the dude I was talking about buying a corsa ducati just for the track....a $40,000 play bike. He is a bike nut and a great guy.
