Recalls

1 vehicle recall from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Brakes (hydraulic) Vehicle recall #15V341000 · 2015 · 3,013 vehicles

What's wrong: These vehicles are equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), traction control system (trac), and vehicle stability control system (vsc) which are controlled by an ABS actuator. A component inside the actuator May have been damaged during its assembly and May cause the actuator to not function properly.

Why it matters: Under some driving conditions, when the ABS is activated, the malfunctioning ABS actuator could cause a loss of vehicle stability, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ABS actuator, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 21, 2015.
