NHTSA recall 17V717000
Parking Brake · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: The electronic parking brake (epb) may not operate properly, possibly causing the parking brake not to disengage after it is applied or prevent it from being applied. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard fmvss number 135, "light vehicle brake systems."
Why it matters: If the epb cannot be applied, there is an increased risk of a vehicle rollaway if the vehicle is parked on a hill without being placed into "park."
The fix: Toyota has notified owners, and dealers will update the programming of the skid control ECU as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2017.
