(AP) - A Kentucky lawmaker whose districtincludes a Toyota plant is urging people to offer up prayers forthe automaker and its employees who are struggling through massiverecalls that have tarnished the company's once-sterling reputation.State Rep.

The production line temporarily halted had usedthe gas pedal in question, plant spokesman Rick Hesterberg said.The line that stayed in production installed a gas pedal providedby a different supplier, he said.The plant resumed full production Monday, he said.

Toyota has said it willsoon announce plans to deal with a braking problem in some Priushybrid vehicles. (Copyright 2010 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.)
