"The problem does not affect any UK Toyota models."
Why are only US market Toyota/Lexus vehicles being recalled? What

Maybe Toyota USA uses a floor mat that the other subsidiaries don't use.
You read the part about the recall being due to the mats, right?

possible causing the pedal to "stick" wide open.
