Toyota Recalls 3.8 Million Vehicles.

The Transportation Department Tuesday afternoon issued a recall of some 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles, warning consumers about safety problems tied to removable floor mats that could potentially interfere with the gas pedal and cause a crash.

The government said Tuesday that consumers who bought certain Toyota models issued from 2004 to today should remove their floor mats and not replace them.

List of models:
2007-2010 Toyota Camrys,
2005-2010 Toyota Avalons,
2004-2009 Toyota Priuses,
2005-2010 Tacomas,
2007-2010 Toyota Tundras,
2007-2010 Lexus ES350s,
2006-2010 Lexus IS250 and IS350s were part of the recall.

A larger recall is expected later Tuesday.
