It is easy to forget that among the debris swirling in the tornado of claims against <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota/">Toyota</a>, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/vibe">Pontiac Vibe</a> is really a Toyota <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/matrix">Matrix</a>. Hence, the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/vibe">Vibe</a> is also included in Toyota's recent <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/21/toyota-issues-new-voluntary-recall-for-sticking-accelerator-peda/">recall of 2.3 million vehicles</a> to repair accelerator pedal mechanisms that could stick and cause unintended acceleration. <br />
<br />
The Vibe was built at the NUMMI plant in a California. The joint venture between Toyota and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">General Motors</a> became a victim of last year's industry turmoil. GM <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/29/after-25-years-gm-ditches-nummi-tie-up-with-toyota-as-part-of-b/">pulled out of the partnership</a> last June, and Toyota is reportedly <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/08/17/report-toyota-to-end-production-at-nummi-in-march/">ending production</a> there in March.<br />
<br />
GM doesn't yet know how many 2009 and 2010 model Vibes are included in the recall. When it receives details on numbers and the fix from Toyota, customers will be notified and they can get their hatches repaired at <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/buick/">Buick</a>-<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gmc/">GMC</a> dealerships.<br />
