Toyota's British arm today announced details on the exact models and the total number of vehicles that are the subject to its sticky accelerator pedal safety recall in the UK. Overall, 180,865 Toyota brand vehicles are affected in the UK with the total made up of models from seven different ranges that you can check out after the jump.
The Japanese automaker added that, in the UK, manual Aygo models and all versions of RAV4 are not included in the recall, while the same goes for all Lexus models.
