Brakes (air) Vehicle recall #10V039000 · 2010 · 148,549 vehicles
What's wrong: Customers have experienced inconsistent brake feel after ABS actuation during slow and steady application of the brakes on rough or slick road surfaces. Stopping distances May be increased compared with a customer's expectation for a given pedal force.
Why it matters: Vehicle stopping distances May increase relative to a customer's expectation increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will rewrite the programming of the ABS control unit free of charge. The safety recall began on March 3, 2010, and is expected to be completed in late March 2010.
Fuel system Vehicle recall #10V285000 · 2010 · 17,801 vehicles
What's wrong: 301, "fuel system integrity." when the vehicle was rotated following a crash test as required, the amount of fuel leakage exceeded the allowable limits.
Why it matters: Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners and dealers will repair the affected vehicles by installing a newly designed protector component for the fuel filler inlet pipe free of charge. The safety recall began on August 9, 2010.
Brakes Vehicle recall #13V235000 · 2013 · 87,060 vehicles
What's wrong: Nitrogen gas from a component of the brake booster pump assembly could leak into the brake fluid.
Why it matters: As nitrogen is released into the brake fluid, the brake pedal May have reduced hydraulic pressure. Under certain circumstances, this condition could affect stopping distance and increase the risk of a crash.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the affected brake booster pump assemblies. The recall began on August 7, 2013.
