"   As a result of a recent safety concern, Toyota is in the process of recalling roughly 4 million vehicles. The alarm came about after a crash in California led to the investigation of potential floor mat detachment in several Toyota and Lexus models, allowing them to slide forward and cause interference with the accelerator pedal. While no complaints have been formalized with any other manufacturers, the risk is possible on any vehicle. Making a simple check to be sure your floor mats are secure and not inching forward can take only seconds and ensure you and your passenger&amp;#039;s safety.  This is a great time to make a few other simple checks to be sure your vehicle is up to par: -Clear any debris on the floor that may interfere with the accelerator, brake, or clutch pedal. -Check all safety lights on the outside of the car by having a friend stand outside the car while turning on hazard flashers, turn signals, brake lights, side markers, and headlights. -Ensure all mirrors are clean, properly adjusted, and free of obstruction. -Clear dashboard of any loose material that may obstruct your forward view or allow movement while driving. -Check tire pressure using a gauge (commonly sold at auto parts stores or gas stations) and inflate to recommended pressure (found in Owners Manual or inside of drivers side door frame).-Check tire tread depth by using a penny. Depth should be at least 2/32&amp;quot; deep on the inside and outside of tire. Also consider tire rotation and all season or snow tires for the winter. -Check to ensure your emergency brake is functioning properly and will stop the car from rolling at the recommended engagement point (Found in Owners manual). -Ensure that your wiper blades are working well, if not consider winter season blades. Many auto parts stores can help with installation free of charge. For other tips on car safety, visit Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s website. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
