The number seems to change from day to day... Here is what I could find: CTS Pedal Fix United States: 2.3 million vehicles Canada: 270,000 vehicles Europe: 1.8 million vehicles China: 75,552 vehicles Floor Mat Entrapment (some vehicles are also involved in the Pedal Fix) United States: 5.35 million vehicles Canada: 200,000 Best extimate I've seen is that there are probably a total of 5.6 million different vehciles being called in the for at least one of the unintended acceleration problems. This does not include the separate recalls / probable recalls for hybrid brakes, Corolla steering, defective frames, defective ball joints, defective fuel systems, defective cruise contraols, etc., etc., etc.).
