NEW YORK » Toyota said yesterday it is recalling 2.3 million vehicles in the United States to fix accelerator pedals that can become stuck, the latest in a string of quality problems that have bedeviled the Japanese automaker.

The recall affects the 2009-2010 RAV4, the 2009-2010 Corolla, the 2009-2010 Matrix, the 2005-2010 Avalon, the 2007-2010 Camry, the 2010 Highlander, the 2007-2010 Tundra and the 2008-2010 Sequoia.

The Avalon, Camry and Tundra models also were included in the 4.2 million-vehicle recall Toyota launched in late 2009 over concerns that accelerator pedals could become lodged under floor mats. That problem was blamed for several crashes, including an accident involving a Lexus that accelerated to more than 120 mph before crashing in San Diego, killing four people.
