Details
What's wrong: These vehicles are equipped with an ABS actuator that may have a damaged o-ring which could result in improper brake fluid pressure control during ABS, traction control, or stability control activation. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 126, "electronic stability control systems."
Why it matters: Insufficient brake fluid pressure may cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake actuator, replacing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 4, 2016, 2016.
