Toyota in Britain said Thursday it hoped to contact all 180,000 owners of its cars within days in a worldwide crisis over faulty accelerator pedals that has rocked the Japanese auto giant. A spokeswoman said the details of all 180,865 owners had been supplied to the central driver licensing authority (DVLA) and the company hoped to be informed of the names and addresses of the owners within two days. Owners of the cars, which cover a range of seven models and date back to 2005, would then be informed by letter and asked to contact their local dealer. 'We are working with the DVLA to identify the contact details of each customer which should take just two days,' a Toyota spokeswoman told selfnews. 'We will then immediately inform the owners by letter.' Earlier, company spokesman Scott Brownlee told Sky News television the company was 'disappointed that we're letting people down'. 'We want people to judge us by the speed of the response, the accuracy of the response,' he added. Some 1.8 million cars are being recalled across Europe and millions more in the US and Japan over fears that accelerator pedals could get stuck. The seven models affected in Britain are the iQ, Aygo, Yaris, Auris, Corolla, Avensis and Verso, said Toyota. Brownlee said the company would do whatever it takes to fix the problem. 'Even if it may seem like it's embarrassing, that's not the point, the point is to to fix people's cars,' he said. The car giant's British recalls are the latest in a series affecting almost eight million Toyota cars worldwide -- more than its entire 2009 global sales of 7.8 million vehicles.
