Yes built by CTS to Toyotas specifications. CTS provides electronic pedal modules to other manufacturers and there don't seem to be any reports of problems with them.

They are headquartered in Elkhart IN, but the modules are built in Canada.

"As Toyota stated, this recall is different from and unrelated to the “sudden, unintended acceleration issue” which was the subject of the November 2009 Toyota recall. In the November recall, the pedals in Toyota models dated back to model year 2002. CTS became a pedal supplier in 2005. Accordingly, our products are not implicated by the November 2009 recall. The products we supply to Toyota, including the pedals covered by the recent recall, have been manufactured to Toyota’s design specifications."
