NHTSA recall 16V775000
Electrical System, Service Brakes, Hydraulic · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: The brake fluid level sensor may not be connected to the wire harness, preventing the sensor from detecting the brake fluid level. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 135, "light vehicle brake systems."
Why it matters: If the brake fluid level is low and is not detected, the braking performance may be decreased, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, connect the wire harness to the sensor, free of charge. The recall began November 14, 2016.
