[0:02] Tonight, Toyota says bring them back.
[0:05] The world's largest car maker launches a
[0:07] recall of more than 4 million vehicles
[0:10] to correct a problem blamed for an
[0:12] horrific accident. I'm Harry Smith. Also
[0:15] tonight, the great holiday getaway. Or
[0:18] is it? Turns out today is not the
[0:20] busiest travel day of the year. And wait
[0:23] till you hear what really is. Belt
[0:26] tightening time on Capitol Hill. Hardly.
[0:29] Members are handing out ear marks and
[0:31] sticking you with the tab. We'll follow
[0:33] the money. And a top-notch chef serves
[0:37] up a healthy helping of the American
[0:40] spirit.
[0:45] >> This is the CBS Evening News with Katie
[0:48] Kurrick.
[0:51] Good evening. Katie is off tonight. Our
[0:54] top story begins with a frantic call to
[0:56] 911 made from a car speeding out of

[1:02] driver can't stop. It all leads to a
[1:04] deadly crash and now to a massive
[1:07] recall. National correspondent Jim

[1:15] >> Toyota, which built its reputation on
[1:17] safety and quality, now says it knows
[1:19] how to fix the problem behind the
[1:20] biggest recall in its history. The
[1:23] automaker will redesign accelerator
[1:25] pedals in 4 million Toyotas and Lexuses,
[1:28] including the Camry, America's top
[1:30] selling car, 436,000 sold in 2008, and
[1:34] the Prius, the bestselling hybrid. The
[1:37] trouble is, in Toyota vehicles like this
[1:39] 2009 Tacoma pickup truck, the gas pedal
[1:42] can get tangled up in the floor mat,
[1:44] causing the vehicle to speed up. Even if
[1:47] the driver pumps the brakes, it's not
[1:49] enough to stop. Five deaths have been
[1:52] blamed on this unintended acceleration,
[1:54] and the
