Toyota says it plans to give details early Monday in the U.S. about a fix for gas pedals in millions of vehicles being recalled there.

Toyota's U.S. sales unit said in a media advisory it will announce details of its plans to fix the gas pedals in a release at 6:30 a.m EST.

Toyota Motor Corp. spokesman Paul Nolasco in Tokyo declined comment.

Toyota has recalled 4.2 million cars and trucks on three continents to fix accelerator pedals that can get stuck or are slow to return when released, increasing the risk of a crash.
