No they didn't manufacture the throttle systems, but no fault has been found in the throttle systems either. The recall had to do with the gas pedals themselves. In very specific situations there was a potential of them sticking. Koito supplies other manufacturers with pedals as well (and NHTSA is investigating them too).
