There may be more to the story. A stuck accelerator problem (that was created many years before Toyoda took over Toyota) has now been analyzed by engineers.
Their rules were restricting. Engineers could not even take notes, pictures, or other written material from the room. For about one year, they entered a secure room to examine code that operated brakes, cruise control, and other relevant functions. Their report to the courts was a stunning admission of concepts that should not exist in real time software. And could explain why, in rare cases, an accelerator might lock to the floor.
This recent report may have something to do with Consumer Reports concern and reevaluation of some models.
