Toyota Motor Co. said Tuesday it was suspending U.S. sales of eight recalled vehicle models to fix accelerator pedals that stick, the latest quality problem to confront the world's No. 1 automaker. As part of the plan, Toyota said it was halting production at five manufacturing facilities for the week of Feb. 1 "to assess and coordinate activities." There are 2.3 million vehicles involved in the recall, which was announced last week.
Most popular models, sales suspended; all five US production lines shut...
Sales of what, stocks or cars?
Not on the link you provide! Is this local to a particular area?
Well, that would be interesting. Apparently the floor mat sticks to the pedals or something.

Overrated car company. My next car is going to be a Kia.
Toyota just announced it will stop selling the eight models included in its recent 2.3 million vehicle recall over a sticking accelerator pedal. A Toyota spokesman said, “This action is necessary until a remedy is finalized. We’re making every effort to address this situation for our customers as quickly as possible.”
The company says it will also stop production of the same vehicles starting Feb. 1. The delay is likely due to the complications of leaving vehicles unfinished on the line for an extended period of time.
This is dramatic action, amid public outcry, because it includes two of the company’s and the country’s best-selling models, the Toyota Camry and Corolla. Although we were surprised there wasn’t more media attention given to the issue, which is being blamed for a number of deaths, compared to other significant recalls from large automakers.
The affected vehicles are listed below, and if you’re a current owner you can find more information about the recall here.
2007-10 Camry
2009-10 RAV4
2009-10 Corolla
2009-10 Matrix
2005-10 Avalon
2010 Highlander
2007-10 Tundra
2008-10 Sequoia
This is hugh and series.

Toyota Motor Co. suspended sales of eight models recalled to fix potential problems with sticky accelerator pedals, hitting dealers with another headache when they are already eager to rev up sales.
The company issued the 2.3-million-vehicle recall last week, adding to another recall of 4.2 million Toyota- and Lexus-branded vehicles to reduce the risk of the pedals’ getting trapped by floor mats. About 1.7 million vehicles are subject to both recalls.
Because of the sales suspension, Toyota is expected to stop producing the vehicles next week.

Ok so you got me to go to the NBC website for the first time in about 7 years. I don’t even see a banner about Toyota.
No. It apparently doesn't have anything to do with the floor mats.
